You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{\frac{15}{100} \cdot 42.5}{100}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{\frac{15}{100} \cdot 42.5}{100} = \frac{51}{800} = 0.06375\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{\frac{15}{100} \cdot 42.5}{100}& = \frac{15}{100} \cdot \left(42 + \frac{5}{10}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{100}\\& = \frac{15}{100} \cdot \left(42 + \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{100}\\& = \frac{15}{100} \cdot \frac{85}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{100}\\& = \frac{15}{100} \cdot \frac{17}{40}\\& = \frac{51}{800}\end{aligned}\]
