Question

Which number is equal to 15%?
A) 0015
B) 0.015
C) 150/100
D) 3/20
​

Answer 1

The answer is B)0.015

Answer 2

D) 3/20.

Explanation:

We divide 15 by 100 to converrt it to a decimal.

15% = 0.15.

Now 0.15 is not one of the choices so we find which one of the choices converts to 15% when we multiply by 100.

It is 3/20 because 3/20 * 100

= 3*100 / 20

= 300/20

= 30/2

= 15%.
