Question

What percent of 20 is 15?

Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well lets set this up.

You want to find what percent of 20 is 15.

So to do that you can make it a fraction.

The numerator is what is being divided and the denominator is what you want it divided by.

So you want 15 divided by 20

So 15 is numerator

20 is denominator.

$\frac{15}{20}$

A fraction is basically a division problem so now all you need to do is divide 15 by 20.

If you do that you should get a decimal answer of 0.75

To make a decimal a percentage all you have to do is multiply it by 100.

0.75 * 100

[If you do not have a calculator on you an easy way to do this is look at how many zeros 100 has and move the decimal right that many times]

75

Now just add that percent sign and you have 75% as your answer!
