Can you explain how you got this answer, please?
Thank you!
Our output value is 75. We represent the unknown value with x. From the first step above, 75=100%. Similarly, x=15% This results in a pair of simple equations:
75=100%.
x=15%.
By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS
(right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%) we have
75/x = 100%/15%.
Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
x/75 = 15/100
Therefore, $15\%$ of $75$ is $11.25$
75=100%.
x=15%.
By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS

Therefore, $15\%$ of $75$ is $11.25$
