Question

___________% of 60=15

Answer 1

The number in the blank should be 25.

Explanation:

__% of 60=15.

Keep in mind of means times.

So we first need to solve the following equation:

x60=15

or

60x=15

Divide both sides by 60:

x=15/60

You can reduce this by dividing top and bottom by 15:

x=1/4

Let's convert 1/4 to a percentage.

1/4=.25=25%.

The number in the blank should be 25 since 25% times 60 is 15 (or a fourth of 60 is 15).

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

25% of 60 is 15 because 15 is 1/4 of 60 and 1/4 is 25%
