Answer:
the correct answer is $14.55%
To make a fraction into simplest form you have to find the greatest common factor. In this case it is 5. So then you divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 5.
15÷5=3
100÷5=20
There is no factors that go into both 3 and 20 so simplest form is 3/20.
