Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

5/100 = 135/x

Cross multiply

5 × x = 100 × 135

5x = 13500

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable

x = 2700

$2700

Check work by plugging the x value into the equation

5/100 = 135/2700

Convert 5/100 so that it has the same denominator as the other fraction

5 × 27/100 × 27

135/2700

135/2700 = 135/2700

Do they equal?

Yes, so our answer is correct
