To solve for w, we need to get w by itself. Since w is being multiplied by 0.05, we need to reverse that. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide 0.05w and 15 by 0.05. 15/0.05 = 300. w = 300. Hope this helps!
In order to find the value first multiply both sides by 100 to simplify the equation: 0.05w*100=15*100 5w=1500 Next, divide both sides of the equation by 5: 5w/5=1500/5 w=300 The final solution is w=300!
