125%

A percentage is a ratio expressed as a decimal and multiplied by 100.

$\frac{15}{12} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25$ $15/12 = 5/4=1.25$

$1.25 \cdot 100 % = 125 %$ $1.25*100%=125%$

$125 %$ $125%$

The question is easier to understand if you ask it other other way.

What percent is $15$ $15$ out of $12$ $12$ ?

To find a percent use the method:

$fraction×100%$ $"fraction" xx 100%$

$15$ $15$ is more than $12$ $12$ , so the percent is obviously more than $100 %$ $100%$

$\frac{15}{12} \times 100 %$ $15/12 xx100%$

$= 125 %$ $=125%$
