Answer:
500 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:
30% * x = 150
Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:
0.30 * x = 150
Divide both sides by 0.30:
x = 500 grams
