Anytime you have a percentage, it is simply the number over 100. So 15% is the same as 15/100. (or 3/20, when reduced)

Okay, you do not necessarily need a calculator to turn 15% in to a fraction. Because percents are out of 100 the fraction should look like this 15/100. The 15 is the precent so it has to be out of hundred.

15% literally means 15 out of 100, or 15/100. This can be simplified because both 15 and 100 can be divided by 5, therefore 15/100 = 3/20. Hope this helps!

It is 15/100.
% means the under of the fraction must be 100.And u write 15 on 100.

That means 15 divided by 100. 15/100 or, 15 out of 100

15% essentially is a fraction, but out of 100
15/100 can be simplified by dividing both by 5
=3/20

Like the other answerers said, "percent" means divided by 100, so 15% is 15/100. I'm pretty sure your teacher wants this reduced, so you're going to have to think of a number that divides evenly into 15 and 100.
