25%
Explanation:let the percent be y
y% × 60 = 15
y/100 × 60 = 15
60y/100 = 15
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{60y}{100}=\text{ 15} \\ \text{cross multiply:} \\ 60y\text{ = 15(100)} \\ 60y\text{ = 1500} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{60y}{60}=\frac{1500}{60} \\ y\text{ = 25} \end{gathered}[/tex]This means 25 percent of 60 is 15
