Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:
\left(2025-1500\right)/1500

Calculate


(2025-1500)/(1500)

Calculate the sum or difference


(525)/(1500)

Cross out the common factor


(7)/(20)

Multiply a number to both the numerator and the denominator


(7)/(20)*(5)/(5)

Write as a single fraction


(7*5)/(20*5)

Calculate the product or quotient


(35)/(20*5)

(35)/(100)

Rewrite a fraction with denominator equals 100 to a percentage


35%%

I hope this helps you
