240
Because,
if 240 is the 100%
then x will be the 15%
.......15 x 240
x= ---------------- = 36
..........100
For these type of exercises, you actually divide 36 by 15 and if you want to express the result in % then multiply that by 100

36=15/100 x X
First inverse 15/100 to 100/15
Then multiply it by 36/1
36/1 x 100/15= X
We can cross cancel. So lets.
13/1 x 100/5
Reduce
13/1 x 20/1= X
13 x 20 is 160
X=160.

Let N = the number.
N * 0.15 = 36
N = 36 / 0.15
N = 36 / (15/100)
N = 36 * 100 / 15
N = 3600 / 15
N = 240
