Answer 1

〰️〰️ SOLUTION 〰️〰️

Let x % of 35 is equal to 15.

Then,

$\implies \bf 35 \times \frac{ x}{100} = 15 \\ \small \boxed{ \rm performing \: \: cross \: \: multiplication} \\ \tt \implies35x = 15 \times 100 \\ \tt \implies35x = 1500 \\ \small \boxed{ \rm transposing \: \: 35 \: \: to \: \: RHS }\\ \tt \implies \: x = \frac{15}{35} \times 100 \\\small \boxed{ \rm simplifying \: \: the \: \: fraction \big({}^{15} \! / {}_{35} \big)} \\ \tt \implies \: x = \frac{3}{7} \times 100 \\ \tt \implies \: x = \frac{300}{7} \: \: \: \sf= \red{42.85}$

Hence,

➡️ 42.85 % of 35 = 15
