It is confusing, but I'm guessing at least one word is missing from your original.

15% of 70 is 0.15·70 = 10.5; 60% of 15 = 0.6·15 = 9
Now we have to find what percent 10.5 of 9: 10.5/9·100% = 116.67%

Can you provide some multiple choice options given that it's an SAT math problem? 60% of 15 is 9. 15% of 70 is 10.5. is it asking what percentage of 10.5 is 9? in that case it would be around 85%.12/30/20
