The form of the equation will follow the sentence, but the key is to remember that 1.5% is represented by the number .015 since the percentage is 1.5 out of a hundred.
675 = .015 x
675/.015 = x
45000 = x

"Is" is an equals sign, "of" means multiply, "what number" is x, and "percent" means "divide by 100". So,
675 = 1.5/100 * x
x = 675 * 100/1.5 = 45000

1.5/100 = 675/n
15/1000 = 675/n
675000 = 15n------gotten by cross mulitpling
divide by 15 on both sides
