Answer:


(15)/(100), 0.15

Fraction Explanation: A percentage is a fraction of 100, meaning 15% is 15 out of 100. Another way to represent this idea is with actual fractions, where the denominator (bottom) is 100 and the numerator (top) is the portion of 100 in question.

Decimal Explanation: Being that 15% is saying 15 out of 100, we can also write it as 0.15 out of 1. The ratio stays the same
