"How much does the party planner receive"
15%, no? That's what the problem says, he gets 15 percent, per-centum, for every one hundred. If he receives 9 hundred, and for every hundred he gets 15:
15*9, multiply to get your answer.
-----------------------
More traditionally, we take the percentage down to one:
He gets 15 for every 100. Thus, he gets 15/100 = 0.15 for every 1.
With this information you can calculate 15% for any and every amount. In this case:
900*0.15
