You recieve 15% of the profit from a car wash. How much money do you receive from a profit of $300? (If you can, please show how you solved this equation)

I read the question wrong

$45

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Here I did "x is 15% of 300", and x will be how much you profit from 300.

2. My process is that "is" equals "=", which means that "x = 15% of 300"

3. "of" means to multiply, but you can't multiply that percent in that form, so you turn it into a decimal, becoming 0.15. We have clear that "of" means multiply, so now the entire thing is "x = 0.15(300)"

4. X will equal 45. So $45.
