How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 15 = 3.75
- Check: Work backwards: 3.75 ÷ 15 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/15, so part = 25 × 15 ÷ 100 = 3.75. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*15. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
3.75 is the 25% share of 15. The remaining 75% is 11.25, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 15 by 25% gives 18.75 and decreasing it by 25% gives 11.25. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 14.0625, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
