Percentage

Percentages are values in terms of values divided by 100.

Eg.

`(34)/(100) = 34percent`

Solution

To solve this question, we have to make sure the denominator is 100.

4 : 15

`= (4)/(15) \\ = (4 \\ * 10)/(15 * 10) \\ = (40 / 1.5)/(150 / 1.5) \\ = (26.667)/(100)`

Therefore the percentage is 26.7%. (3 Significant Figures)
