22.4^@, rounded to one decimal place.

Explanation:

If banking angle is theta then we have the following expression connecting various variables
tan theta=v^2/(rg)
where v is the velocity of the vehicle, r is the radius of curvature and g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81ms^-2.

Inserting given values after converting speed to SI units, we get
tan theta=((45xx1609.344)/3600)^2/(100xx9.81)=0.4125
=>theta=tan^-1 0.4125
=>theta=22.4^@, rounded to one decimal place.
