What percent of 60 is 15

15/60 = 1/4 or 25 %

or

n% x 60 = 15 (the statement you wrote above changed into math)

.60n = 15 What allows me to move the decimal back two places? Normally you can change a percent to a decimal by moving it back two places. But if you don't know what the % is, you can move the number you are multiplying by back two places instead.

For example: 37 x. 45 =.37 x 45 both = 16.65 - this shows that it doesn't matter which number is moved back two places - the answer will be the same. You can't move n% back two places (because you can't move a number you don't know back two places) so just move the number you are multiplying by, namely 60, back two place - that is how I got. 60

.60n=15

.60.60 divide both sides by. 60

n = 25%

25%.

15 = 25%

30 = 50%

45 = 75%

60 = 100%
