When you're finding percentages of a number abbreviated such as "2.3 million" the first step is to write out the number in expanded form.

So 2.3 million in expanded form is 2,300,000.

Now our second step is simple. When we need to find 10% of any number we simply move our decimal point one place values to the left.

  • Original: 2,300,000
  • 1st Place: 230,000.0

So 10% of 2,300,000 is 230,000. Now 5% is exactly half of our 10%.

  • 230,000 ÷ 2 = 115,000

Lastly, add together our 5% and 10%.

  • 230,000 + 115,000 = 345,000

Therefore 15% of 2.3 million dollars is $345,000.
