Easton won best in show 15 times and that represents 60 % of all shows that he entered. Here is x - the number of all shows he entered last year. We will use the proportion to find thet number: 15 : x = 60 : 100. 60 x = 100 * 15, 60 x = 1,500, x = 1,500 : 6, x = 25. Answer: Easton entered 25 shows last year.
