To find out what percent 15 is of 25, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, the part is 15 and the whole is 25. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{15}{25} \right) \times 100 \]

First, calculate the fraction:
