Question

What is 15% of 15% of 15% of 500 how does this compare to finding 45% of 500

Answer 1

15% of 500 is 75, 15% of 75 is 11.25, 15% of 11.25 is 1.6875, an 45% of 500 is 225. Does that help?

Answer 2

"500* (15/100)* (15/100)* (15/100)= 1.6875

500* (45/100)= 225

Therefore, the process of finding 45% of 500 does not have anything to do with the process of finding 15% of 155 of 15% of 500~"
