Suppose $15\%$ of $x$ equals $20\%$ of $y.$ What percentage of $x$ is $y?$
$\textbf{(A) }5 \qquad \textbf{(B) }35 \qquad \textbf{(C) }75 \qquad \textbf{(D) }133 \frac13 \qquad \textbf{(E) }300$
Since $20\% = \frac{1}{5}$, multiplying the given condition by $5$ shows that $y$ is $15 \cdot 5 = \boxed{\textbf{(C) }75}$ percent of $x$.
