Question

15 is what percent of 48?

Answer 1

The way to do this is to divide the two numbers (15 and 48) and then multiply the answer by 100.

So.. (15 / 48) * 100 = your answer

Or you can do it the long way, which is how I do it. You can divide 100 by 48, and then multiply it by 15.

So... (100 / 48) * 15 = your answer

Answer 2

`p\% \ of \ 48=15 \\\\ (p)/(100)*48=15 \\\\ (p)/(100)=(15)/(48) \\\\ (p)/(100)=(5)/(16) \\\\ p=(100*5)/(16) \\\\ p=(25*5)/(4) \\\\ p=6.25*5\\\\ \boxed{p=31.25\%}`
