Answer:

15/100 x 20 = 3

Explanation:

15 percent of 20 is 3.

Consider 15 out of 100 since a percent is always considered out of hundred.

15

___ x 20 =

100

First thing is first, we ALWAYS have to find what the percent is of and its of 20 fruits.

So 15/100 x 20 would be your equation

we can simplify

15

___ x 20 ------> 1 = 15

100 -----> 5 ___ x 1 = 3

5

To simplify we can divide by 20 on the denominator and the factor.
