0·45 million 6·5% bonds in issue. Each 6·5% bond has a nominal value of $100, and is currently trading at $104 per $100. Y dont we calculate the market value like this = (104/100)*0.45

The question does not say that the nominal value is $0.45m, it says that there are 0.45m bonds. Each each bond has a MV of $104 and if there are 0.45m of them then the total MV is 104 x 0.45M = $46.8m.
