The first question:

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication


(x)/(100) * 25 = 14\\\\(x)/(4) = 14\\\\\boxed{\bf{x=56}}

56% of 25 is 14.

And the second question:

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication


(x)/(100) * 20 = 11\\\\(x)/(5) = 11\\\\\boxed{\bf{x = 55}}

55% of 20 is 11.

And finally, the third question:

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication


15 = (x)/(100) * 5\\\\15 = (x)/(20)\\\\\boxed{\bf{x=300}}

15 is 300% of 5.
