To find the percent, first divide the part by the whole.

(Part)/(Whole) = (15)/(50)

Now divide:

15 / 50 = 0.3

You have your answer as a decimal. To change your decimal into a percent, move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a percent sign.

First move the decimal point:

$0.3 \rightarrow 30$

Now add the percent sign:

$30 \rightarrow 30 \%$

30% of 50 is 15
