15/20 = 75%
A value like 15/20, or 75%, can show up in everyday life as a test score, a sale discount, or the amount of a phone battery that remains. For example, a score of 15 out of 20 means most of the questions were answered correctly.
To picture 15/20 quickly, imagine a bar split into four equal sections with three shaded in. That’s about three-quarters of the whole, or just a little more than half.
One common mix-up is thinking that 75% off means you pay 75% of the original price. It actually means the discount takes away 75%, so you pay the remaining 25%.
