Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation: So, there are 2 ways to solve this. The first way:

15:75 * 100

(15 * 100) : 75

1500: 75 = 20

The other way is you divide 75 by 15 to get 5. Now, 5 is 1/5 OR 20% of 100. I hope this helped!

Answer:D 20%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of the cost of the CD relative to the total cost of the game and CD, we need to perform the following calculation:

(Cost of CD / Total cost) * 100%

Plugging in the given values, we get:

(15 / 75) * 100% = 20%.

Therefore, the cost of the CD is 20% of the total money spent on the game and CD.
