See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ The electric field at point P that is at $r$ distance from a 15 nC-charge is about 54 kN/C. Find $r$. $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Solving the given formula for $r$, $$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{(9\times 10^9)(15\times 10^{-9})}{54\times 10^3}}=\bf 0.05\;\rm m$$ $$r=\color{red}{\bf 5}\;\rm cm$$
