Answer:

14.25 grams of celery was water.

Explanation:

You are figuring out 95 percent of 15. Find the percentage of one number in relation to another with the formula Percentage = (number you want to find the percentage for ÷ total) × 100. Move the decimal point two places to the right to convert from a decimal to a percentage, and two places to the left to convert from a percentage to a decimal.

(I found the following information from a website, so sorry if it doesn't make sense. I just didn't know how to describe how to do it.)
