Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Divide 3 by 15 to get 1/5. If you divide 1 by 5, you will get a decimal answer of 0.2. To convert a decimal to a percent, you must multiply the decimal by 100, which basically means to move the decimal place to the right twice. You will then get the product and final answer of 20%.
