How To: The key words in this problem are "What Percent" because they let us know that it's the Percent that is missing. So the two numbers that it gives us must be the "Total" and the "Part" we have.

Part/Total = Percent

In this case, it's the Total that our uncle owned. So we put 15 on the bottom of the fraction and 5 on top. Now we're ready to figure out the part we don't know; the Percent.
