15 percent of what number is 45?

Answer 1

15 is 45% of 33 1/3

Answer 2

Percent or Percentage effectively means hundredth.

So if 1% of a number is 45, then 45 is 1/100 of the number you require, namely (100/1) x 45 = 4500

Then if 15% of a number is 45, then 45 is 15/100 of the number you require, namely :-

(100/15) x 45 = 300

Answer 3

1.5% of 45

= 1.5% * 45

= 0.015 * 45

= 0.675

Answer 4

45 / 0.15 = 300, so 45 is 15% of 300.
