Question

Which of the following options have the same value as 15% of 20?

Choose 3 answers:
a. 0.15 * 20
b. 0.2 * 15
c. 20% of 15
d. 15% of 200

Answer 1

To find 15% of 20, we multiply 15 as a decimal (0.15) by 20, which also gives the same result as multiplying 0.2 by 15 or calculating 20% of 15. Each of these operations yields a result of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question asks for three different ways of calculating the same value as 15% of 20. To find this value, we can convert the percentage into a decimal and multiply by the number, or rearrange the multiplication without changing the product.

List of correct answers:

• 0.15 * 20 = 3
• 0.2 * 15 = 3
• 20% of 15 = 3

Each option represents the same mathematical operation (multiplication) with different representations of the numbers involved. Thus, they all result in the value 3, which is equivalent to 15% of 20.
