This is as if you cut 110 into one-hundred equal parts and find fifteen of those parts and say how much this is.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15% means \"highlight_green%2815%2F100%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Setting the question as a proportion:
\n" ); document.write( "\"15%2F100=v%2F110\";
\n" ); document.write( "Examine that equation for a few seconds, and then read the top given description again.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want those two fractions to be equal. As arranged, v is fifteen percent of 110. If you multiply the left member AND the right member by 110, you have v on one side and a numeric expression which you can compute on the other side. Do the computation and you have the finished value for v.

\n" ); document.write( "\"%2811%2A3%2A5%29%2F%282%2A5%29=v\"
