Answer 1

The answer is 9

Explanation:

15% * 60

"OF" mean multiplication so we multiple

¹⁵/100 * 60

we cancel "Zero cancel Zero"

we left with

¹⁵/10 * 6

but we can make the fraction to be uniform

so we say ¹⁵/10 * ⁶/1

we multiply

15 * 6=90

10 * 1=10

⁹⁰/10

we divide

10 into 90 is 9

10 into is 1

so we say ⁹/1 is the same as 9.

Hence our answer is 9
