Answer:

The percentage of crayons with orange shades is 23%.

Process:

(15*100)/64

1500/64

23.4375

Rounding to the nearest number is 23.

The answer is the second choice: 23%
To find the answer (percentage of something), take the “part” over “whole.” So 15/64. 15 divided by 64 gives you 0.23. To change a decimal to a percentage, move the decimal two places to the right. Which gives you 23%.
