Question

$75\%$ of what number is $15$

Answer 1

Step-1: Given Information

Let the number be $x$

$75\%$of $x$ = $15$

Step-2: Find the value of $x$

$\frac{75}{100}\times x=15$ ( $75\%$ can be written as$\frac{75}{100}$)

$75\times x=15\times 100$( Bring $100$from left side to right side and while doing so division gets changed to Multiplication )

$x=\frac{1500}{75}$( Bring $75$from left side to right side and while doing so multiplication gets changed to division )

$x=\frac{1500}{75}$( Simplify $\frac{1500}{75}$by dividing by a common factor $75$ in Numerator and denominator separately )

$x=20$

Hence, $75\%$of $20$ is $15$
