To find the percent of 15 out of 60, you have to divide fifteen by sixty.
Then, you multiply your answer by 100. (We do this because 100 percent is a exact amount. 100% of sixty is...well, sixty.)

15 / 60 = 0.25

Now, we can multiply 0.25 by 100:

0.25 * 100 = 25 (basically just moving the decimal two places to the right.)

Next, add a percent sign:

25%, is your answer.

15 is 25% of 60.
