Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the required number.

            Given data:-  $15\%.$

            To find:- Value of given expression in fraction form.

            Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.  

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

       Therefore,

              $15\%\\\Rightarrow\frac{15}{100} \\\Rightarrow \frac{3}{20} .$

Hence we will get $\frac{3}{20}$ in fraction form.

Answer 2

As per the data given in the question,
