Answer:

The answer would be 30% (although I don't see that as an answer).

Explanation:

This is because when you multiply the denominator times a number that makes the denominator 100 and multiply that same number by the numerator you get the percentage of the sample you are looking at on the numerator.

15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = 30/100 = 30%
