c)75

Explanation

to figure out this, we can use a rule of three

so,

let x represents the unknown value(

[tex]\begin{gathered} if \\ 15\Rightarrow20\text{ \%} \\ \text{then} \\ x\Rightarrow100\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]

make the proportion and solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{15}{20}=\frac{x}{100} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 15\cdot100=20\cdot x \\ 1500=20x \\ \frac{1500}{20}=x \\ 75=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

so, the answer is

C)75
