To find the number \( x \) such that 45% of \( x \) is 15.75, we can set up the equation:
\[
0.45x = 15.75
\]
To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 0.45:
\[
x = \frac{15.75}{0.45}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 15.75 \div 0.45 = 35
\]
Thus, the number is \( \boxed{35} \).
\[
0.45x = 15.75
\]
To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 0.45:
\[
x = \frac{15.75}{0.45}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 15.75 \div 0.45 = 35
\]
Thus, the number is \( \boxed{35} \).
