How do you find 15 percent of a number?

Answer 1

We know that 70 percent is 70/100 or .7, and we know that 15 percent is 15/100 or .15. Now we know that to find 15 % of 70 %, we multiply .7 times .15 and we get .105 for an answer.

Answer 2

Take your total and multiply it with 1.15.

Answer 3

15% of a number(say X) = (X*15)/100.

or

Multiply that number by 0.15

So:

60*15/100 = 9
