To convert 15% to a fraction, we can express it as:
\[
15\% = \frac{15}{100}
\]
Next, we simplify this fraction. We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5:
\[
\frac{15 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{3}{20}
\]
Thus, the fraction that is equal to 15% in lowest terms is:
\[
\frac{3}{20}
\]
