• What is 40% of 15?

Calculating the percent of a number is simple, but can be a bit tricky if you aren't careful. Luckily, it only requires a few basic operations to get to the solution: multiplication and division. If you haven't learned what percentage is yet, or would like a little refresher, feel free to check out our introduction to percentage page. To solve percentage problems, it may be useful to use a calculator. But, they can also be solved by hand or in your head (if you practice enough). So, how did we get to the solution that 40 percent of 15 = 6?

• Step 1: As we know, a whole of something is equal to 100%. In this case, we want to find what 40% of 15 is. We know that 100% of 15 is, well, just 15.
• Step 2: If 100% of 15 is 15, then we can get 1% of 15 by dividing it by 100. Let's do 15 / 100. This is equal to 0.15. Now we know that 1% is 0.15.
• Step 3: Now that we know what 1% of 15 is, we just need to multiply it by 40 to get our solution! 0.15 times 40 = 6. That's all there is to it!
