Answer 1

Answer:

      please mark me as brilliant  

Explanation:

9EQ = 60%, so 15EQ = 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

EQ stands for exam questions.

Furthermore, if 9 = 60%, 100% = 15.

Let's think: 9/x = 60/100.

So 9 out of something is 60%.

Cross multiply: 9x100 = 900. 60*x = 60x.

900 = 60x.

/60           /60

15 = x.
