Question

What is 15% of 60? I keep getting this answer wrong on my homework plz help.

Answer 1

Percent means parts out of 100
15%=15/100
'of' means mutily
15% of 60=15/100 times 60=900/100=90/10=9/1=9
easy way is
15%=10%+5%
10% of 60=6
5%=1/2 of 10%
10%=6, 1/2 of 6=3
10%+5%=6+3=9


answer is still 9

Answer 2

Simple, take 15%, and change it into 0.15.

n=0.15*60

n=9

Thus, your answer, is 9.
