20 - 15 = 5
5 students like cheesecake
===================================================================
To find the percent use equation 15 ÷ 20 = 0.75 or 75%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
75% percent of kids like chocolate cake, to find the percentage of cheesecake likers use equation 100% - 75% = 25%
-----------------------------------------------------------
25% of kids like cheesecake
