Question

What percent of 60 is 15

Answer 1

To find what percent some number
`a` is of some number
`b` is, then use the formula:

`(a)/(b) \cdot 100 \%`

Essentially, find what proportion of the original number the new number is and convert it to a percentage.

In this case,
`a = 15` and
`b = 60`, meaning that the percentage would be:

`(15)/(60) \cdot 100 \% = 25 \%`

Our answer is 25%.
