Question

Fifteen is __% of 120.

Answer 1

It is 12.5%.

15 divided by 120 is 0.125, and in order to make it a percentage, multiply by 100% or move the decimal two places to the right.

Another way is to think about it and break it down. 60 is 50% of 120, and 15 is 25% of 60.
Since 15 is 25% of 60, which in turn in 50% of 120, 15 is 12.5%.

I'm 1,000% sure it's correct.

Answer 2

To do this,  divide 15 by 120.  You get 0.125  Then turn the decimal into a percent.  You do this by moving the decimal point to places to the RIGHT.  You get 12.5% as your answer.
