Here's an easy way to figure it out-- 1/10 of 60 is $6 dollars so there's 10 percent 15 percent would be another 5 percent or $3. So 15 percent of 60 is $9.

15 percent of something is something times 15 divided by 100.
60x15/100=9; therefore, 15 percent of 60 is 9.

The answer is $9.00. To figure out 15% of something: 10% of 60 = 6. Half of 6 (or 5%, which is half of 10%) is 3, so 6+3 = $9.00. 15% of 40 would be: 10% = 4, half of 4 is 2, so 15% of 40 is 6 (4+2).
