How To Calculate 3 out Of 15 As a Percentage?

Step 1: Express as a Fraction

The first step is to represent the “3 out of 15” as a fraction. The “out of” part tells us the total, which goes on the bottom (denominator) of the fraction.

The “3” is the part we’re interested in, and it goes on top (numerator). So, the fraction is 3/15.

Step 2: Simplify the Fraction (Optional but Recommended)

Simplifying a fraction makes the next steps easier. Both 3 and 15 are divisible by 3.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3 gives us 1/5. While not strictly necessary, simplifying often makes the calculation smoother.

Step 3: Convert the Fraction to a Decimal

To turn a fraction into a decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator. So, we divide 1 by 5 (or 3 by 15 if you didn’t simplify). 1 divided by 5 is 0.2.

Step 4: Convert the Decimal to a Percentage

A percentage means “out of 100.” To convert a decimal to a percentage, we multiply by 100. So, 0.2 multiplied by 100 is 20. Therefore, 3 out of 15 is equal to 20%.

Looking at the table:

• F 0.0 0–59.99%
