0.04x=15 15÷0.04=x x=375

[@samswift4921]

375 no paper, pen or calculator. O K. I do not own a calculator.

[@Vipre-]

My way of doing this in the day to day would be dividing 15 by 4 to get 1% of X then multiply that by 100. Most of my math solutions are situational. Doesn't work for everything but good enough for quick use.
You could also just recognize that twenty-five "fours" equal 100 and multiply 15 x 25.

[@rossadams3077]

@Vipre that's what I did too.

[@faireplaymedia7622]

Me too!!

[@KathrynLiz1]

I did it by using the percentage.... 4% is one twentyfifth, so X must be 25 x 15 (for mental arithmetic 250 + 125) which is 375....

[@jald910]

375. No calculator needed

[@Ayelmar]

Solved mostly in my head (used calculator for the final multiplication), my answer is 375.
1) ( 4 / 100 ) * x = 15 -- rewrite the percentage as a fraction.
2) (1 / 25 ) * x = 15 -- simplify the fraction
3) x = 15 * 25 -- multiply both sides by the denominator
4) x = 375. -- result.

[@iishor]

100:4.multiply by 15 equal 375

[@devonwilson5776]

Greetings. The answer is 375. The answer is determined as follows. 4X/100=15. That is 4X=1,500 and
4X/4=1,500/4,
X=375.

[@charlesmitchell5841]

X=375

[@Akhenatonio]

I solved this using proportions, the only math I have used consistently for 35 years. 4/100 = 15/x. 1500/4= 375.

[@garyinla4807]

Convert English to Math-ish:
4% is .04
"of" means multiply
" a number" is the unknown, I'll call it "n"
"is" means equal
and 15 is, well, 15
So you have .04n = 15
Divide both sides by .04 and your answer is 375.
It's easy when you write it down but my students hate to pick up a pencil and would rather just punch numbers into a calculator. They do poorly on tests when they won't write.

[@Kualinar]

4% can be written as 4/100. Simplify that and we get 1/25. So, 15 is 1 25th of x. So, we just need to multiply by 25 : 15 * 25 = 375.
It is also possible to divide : 4% = 0.04. 15/0.04 = 375.

[@davevanfunk8917]

I figured there 25 4%s in 100. Then I multiplied 25 * 15 and got 375

[@silviodias7540]

4% de X = 15, X = ?
4/100 x X = 15
X = (15 x 100)/4
X = 15 × 25 = 375.
Verificação:
4/100 x 375 =
3,75 x 4 = 15

[@jwoolem76]

Mental math for me is to find 10% then multiply by 10 by shifting the decimal.
4%=15
8%=30
10%=37.5
100%=375

[@erembald2927]

4x/100 = 15, x = 1500/4 = 375

[@panlomito]

So easy: 4/100 . x = 15 so 4x = 1500 and x = 1500/4 = 375

[@Herlongian]

You have to know 4% is 0.04, the word “of” means multiply, and the word “is” means equals.

[@richardhole8429]

You can avoid the division if you recognize that 4% is 1/25.
15 ×25 = oh, that's hard to do in my head
15 = 10 + 5
10×25= 250
5×25= 125
250 + 125 = 375

[@faireplaymedia7622]

15/4=3.75 so 3.75=1%
3.75 x 100= 375 =x
375 x 0.04 = 15

[@wtliftr1]

I actually just multiplied 15 by 25.... 25 x 4%=100%

[@lindahartmann5522]

10p/4 = 25. 25x15= 375. X=375.

[@SilvesterMakwenka]

[@niranjanchakraborty1139]

Ans x=100×15/4=15*×25=375

[@dolphinmania2010]

100/4=25, x=15*25, x=375

[@liztewliztew]

First: 100x15 = 1500
Then: 1500/4 = 375
Final answer:
4% of X is 15, where X=375

[@kellytharp89]

375 no calculator needed. Too easy Mr. Math Man

[@SteveMurto]

4 goes into 100 25 times, 25 x 15 = 375

[@robortoalmeida5331]

Deu 375.

[@MrMousley]

4% of X is 15
1% of X is therefore 15/4 3.75
and X is 3.75 x 100 375

[@iramkjr76]

Is my way flawed ? 4 goes in to15 3 3/4 . 1% x 100 = 375 .

[@slimdugger99]

Why go through all of the convoluted intermediate steps to solve a simple equation. .04x=15 ; x=15/.04 =375.

[@Kleermaker1000]

25 x 15 = 375.

[@mahamunibalakrishnan8263]

(15÷4)100= 375

[@user-pt8vm3mz3v]

375

[@bradgingrich4505]

These usually only a second or two to figure out , this one took at least 6 seconds.

[@Sukrutwastaken]

Ez 15÷4 then 3.75 x 100

[@Raazorred1]

My hillbilly math… 4% of 100 is 4. Therefore 4% of 300 is 12. Therefore 4% 375 is 15 🤠

[@bazkeen]

Nice thinking 👍🏻👍🏻

[@suryaprakashraokandula4986]

25x15= 375

[@williamjames305]

4% 0f X = 15 then 100% = 15 * 25 = 375!!😀

Dividi 15 por 4 e multipliquei por 100.

[@pas6295]

15×25=375

[@russelllomando8460]

got it 375 15 / .04 thanks for the fun

[@user-jj3hi3gh4u]

4 into 15 times 100 is 375

[@robertloveless4938]

If 4% is 15, then 1% is 15/4 = 3.75.
× by 100 to remove the %. ... 375.

[@fenderbenderxaddo5974]

375 in my head in 20 seconds

Please correct the way you pronounce “problem “. It sounds unprofessional when you pronounce it as “proh lam”.
