How much is 25 percent off of 15.00?

Answer 1

The first thing to note is that percentage means that number out of 100. In this case, 25% can be written as 25/100. The next thing to note is that "of" in mathematics means "multiplied by." Thus the question can be rewritten as 15 x 25/100. This is calculated at 3.75. Thus 25% of 15 is 3.75
