Verified Answer :

1) step 1 the way you calculate this is by dividing the number in question by the number which comes after the "of"

So:

x percent of y is:

\(\frac{x}{y}\)

a percent of b is:

\(\frac{a}{b}\)


and for us:

x percent of y is:

\(\frac{15}{75}\)

we can also simplify it:
 

\(\frac{1}{5}\)

for this i divided both numbers by 15.

2) for the second step you multiply the fraction by 100%, ,which is 1: you can always multiply by 1!


\(\frac{1}{5}*100%\)=20%

because 100/5=20


was is clear? let me know if you have more questions!
