We know that percentages can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 100. Therefore, 25% can be written as follows:
[tex] \frac{25}{100} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Now multiply the reduced fraction by 60:
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] × [tex] \frac{60}{1} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{60}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{60}{4} [/tex] can be reduced to 15. Consequently, we have proven that 25% of 60 is 15.
I hope this helps!
