500* (15/100)* (15/100)* (15/100)= 1.6875

500* (45/100)= 225

Therefore, the process of finding 45% of 500 does not have anything to do with the process of finding 15% of 155 of 15% of 500~

15% of 15% of 15% of 500 = 1.6875
45% of 500 = 225

If you want to find 15% of 15% of 15% of 500 then you first have to multiply,
0.15 x 0.15 = 0.0225
then you have to multiply 0.0225 times .15 AGAIN,
0.0225 x .15 = 0.003375
then you finally multiply
0.003375 x 500 = 1.6875

If you want to find 45% of 500 you simply multiply
.45 x 500 = 225

Hope this helps!
