Answer:
9 is 15% of 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\text{Formula}=\frac{\text{Number x 100}}{\text{Percent}} =\frac{9 \times100}{15} =60[/tex]
Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula and find out 15% of what number is 9.
Step 1: If 15% of a number is 9, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.
[tex]\frac{9}{15} = \frac{Y}{100}[/tex]%
Step 2: Solve for Y
Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get
[tex]15Y=6\times100\\15Y=600[/tex]
Y = [tex]\frac{600}{100} =60[/tex]
