Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation: [tex]\left(2025-1500\right)\div1500[/tex]

Calculate

[tex]\frac{2025-1500}{1500}[/tex]

Calculate the sum or difference

[tex]\frac{525}{1500}[/tex]

Cross out the common factor

[tex]\frac{7}{20}[/tex]

Multiply a number to both the numerator and the denominator

[tex]\frac{7}{20}\times\frac{5}{5}[/tex]

Write as a single fraction

[tex]\frac{7\times5}{20\times5}[/tex]

Calculate the product or quotient

[tex]\frac{35}{20\times5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{35}{100}[/tex]

Rewrite a fraction with denominator equals 100 to a percentage

[tex]35%[/tex]%
