Answer:

There are 20 kids total in the class.

Explanation:

15/100 × 20 = 3

You can use direct proportion for any percent calculation.

Compare each number with its percent.

3 i s 15 % of what number? Let the number be x

So, 3 represents 15 % and x represents 100 %

x/ 100 = 3/15

Multiply by 100 to isolate x

x =
(3 x 100)/(15)

x = 20

Check: 15/ 100 × 20 = 3
