To solve the problem, we first need to find the value of n. We know that 0.03 percent of n equals 3. This can be expressed mathematically as:

0.03/100 * n = 3

To isolate n, we can rearrange the equation:

n = 3 / (0.03/100)

Calculating this gives:

n = 3 / 0.0003 = 10000

Now that we have n, we can find 3 percent of n:

3/100 * n = 3/100 * 10000

This simplifies to:

3 * 100 = 300

Therefore, 3 percent of n is 300. The correct answer is (c) 300.
