15 x 100 / 20 = 75

Answer 2

75

Explanation:

To find out what number 15 is 20% of, we can use the following equation:

`\sf 20\% \textsf{of a number }= (20)/(100) * \textsf{the number}`

Let "x" represent the number we want to find.

So, the equation becomes:

`\sf 15 = (20)/(100) * x`

Now, we can solve for x:

`\sf 15 = (20)/(100) * x`

To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by
`(100)/(20)`

`\sf x = 15 * (100)/(20)`

`\sf x = 15 * 5`

`\sf x = 75`

So, 15 is 20% of 75.
