We know that percentages can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 100. Therefore, 25% can be written as follows:


(25)/(100) =
(1)/(4)

Now multiply the reduced fraction by 60:


(1)/(4) ×
(60)/(1) =
(60)/(4)


(60)/(4) can be reduced to 15. Consequently, we have proven that 25% of 60 is 15.

I hope this helps!
