Answer:

The answer is 9

Explanation:

15% * 60

"OF" mean multiplication so we multiple

¹/100 * 60

we cancel "Zero cancel Zero"

we left with

¹/10 * 6

but we can make the fraction to be uniform

so we say ¹/10 * /1

we multiply

15 * 6=90

10 * 1=10

/10

we divide

10 into 90 is 9

10 into is 1

so we say /1 is the same as 9.

Hence our answer is 9
