Using Ohm's law to solve for the value of the current from the battery requires calculation of the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
The resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel with one another. Once combined, their requivalent resistor (R23) is in series with R1.
The equivalent resistance is thus given by:
Use this value and the given voltage to solve for the current in the circuit:
