Question

What percentage is $15$ out of $50$?

Answer 1

Convert fraction into percentage.

$15\mathrm{out}\mathrm{of}50$ can be represented in fraction as $\frac{15}{50}$.

To convert any fraction into a percentage, multiply by $100$.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\therefore \frac{15}{50}& =& \frac{15}{50}\times 100\\ & =& \frac{3}{10}\times 100\\ & =& \frac{300}{10}\\ & =& 30\%\end{array}$

Hence, the required percentage is $30\%$.
