No, Michael is not correct. 15% of 60% is not the same as 60% of 15. The two calculations would yield different results.

Total members = 415
Adults = 245

Step 1: Use percentage formula
Percentage = (Adults ÷ Total) × 100
Substitute values
Percentage = (245 ÷ 415) × 100
Calculate
245 ÷ 415 = 0.5904
0.5904 × 100 = 59.04%
Answer: About 59% are adults
