25 is greater than 15 by 10 (= 25 - 15). Thus, 25 is greater than 15 by (10/15)*100% = 66 2/3%.

The correct answer: E

Hope this helps!

25/15 = 5/3 = 1.6666
So, 25 is greater than 15 by .666666 x100 %
= 66.66%

$$15\,\,\mathop \to \limits^{?\,\, = \,\,\Delta \% } \,\,25$$
$$? = {{25 - 15} \over {15}} = {2 \over 3}\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left( {\rm{E}} \right)$$

This solution follows the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

An alternative approach is to test the answer choices

First, however, we can eliminate some answer choices by first testing an easy value: 50%

Is 25 50% greater than 15?
Well, 50% of 15 = 7.5
So, 50% greater than 15 = 15 + 7.5 = 22.5
22.5 is too small (we need to get 25), so we need a percentage that's greater than 50%
So, we can ELIMINATE A, B and C

Now we'll test answer choice D: 60%
Is 25 60% greater than 15?
60% of 15 = 9
So, 60% greater than 15 = 15 + 9 = 24 (no good - we need 25)
We can ELIMINATE D

By the process of elimination, the correct answer is E

Cheers,
Brent

We can create the following expression:

(25 - 15)/15 x 100 = 10/15 x 100 = 2/3 x 100 = 66 â…”%

Alternate Solution:

We see that 25 is 10 more than 15. Thus, 25 is 10/15 greater than 15. We see that 10/15 = 2/3 ≈ 0.67, or 67%

Answer: E
