Answer 1

To find the percentage of medium-sized jerseys, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of medium-sized jerseys}}{\text{Total number of jerseys}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, the number of medium-sized jerseys is 15 and the total number of jerseys is 25.

Plugging in the numbers:

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

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{15}{25} = 0.6
\]

Now, multiplying by 100 to get the percentage:

\[
0.6 \times 100 = 60
\]

Thus, **60%** of the jerseys are medium-sized jerseys.
