Question

75% of what number is 15? make it so clear pls pls

Answer 1

20 is the answer.

Explanation:

Take a look at the given question,

"75% of what number is 15"

Let's substitute this "what number" as "x"

`75`%
`* x = 15`

`→x = (15)/(75 \: percent)`

`→x = (15)/( (75)/(100) )`

`→x = (15)/(0.75)`

To make the denominator as positive for making calculations more easy, we get,

`x = (15 * 100)/(0.75 * 100)`

`→x = (1500)/(75)`

Now after doing the division, we get,

`x = 20`

Hence, 75% of 20 is 15.
