Question

75% of what number is 15? make it so clear pls pls

Answer 1

20 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the given question,

"75% of what number is 15"

Let's substitute this "what number" as "x"

$75$%$\times x = 15$

$→x = \frac{15}{75 \: percent}$

$→x = \frac{15}{ \frac{75}{100} }$

$→x = \frac{15}{0.75}$

To make the denominator as positive for making calculations more easy, we get,

$x = \frac{15 \times 100}{0.75 \times 100}$

$→x = \frac{1500}{75}$

Now after doing the division, we get,

$x = 20$

Hence, 75% of 20 is 15.
