Question

What percent of 60 is 15

Answer 1

The question as an equation is 60p = 15, where p is the percentage you are solving for. divide both sides by 60 to get this as a fraction. Then simplify, and turn this into a percentage. 60p = 15 => p = 15/60 = 1/4 = 25/100 = 25%.

25%

Answer 2

15/60 = x/100.
cross multiply: 60x = 1500.
now, divide both sides by 60 to isolate the variable x.
