Traditionally, one candle equals 1 year of life, or one birthday. So 3 candles means 3 birthdays.
However, when people get beyond teen years, families often begin using number candles, example, a 1 and a 9 for 19th birthday. This reduces the number of candles a person must blow out. In some situations, though, people choose to use all the candles to denote a special honor, such as a person's 100th birthday.

What percent of 45 equals 15?
1/3 or 33.333333....333% of 45 equals 15. The reason this is so is because 45/3 is 15... or there is 15 + 15 + 15 = 45. If you have a full cake that is divided into 45 pieces and 15 pieces of the cake has not been eaten, what percentage of the cake is left? (This sort of idea) A third of the cake has been left because 30/45 or 2/3 of the cake has been eaten, therefore 1(one full cake) - 2/3 (eaten cake) = 1/3(leftover cake).
