You know that

T = 4.5% × H

Where T is the Tax and H the total inheritance.

To figure out the total inheritance you simply divide the Tax by the Percentage, so

H = T/4.5%

In your case the inheritance would have been 622 and a bit grand

Just to add a bit that helps me understand what I'm doing with problems like this - the words for what's happening. $28k is 4.5% of what? which then becomes the equation 28k=.045*x

The words for what’s happening is exactly how I think about it. Good addition.
