75%

To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we need to add up the total number of selections and the total number of red ball selections from Bowl A.

Total selections from Bowl A = 5 white balls + 15 red balls = 20
Total red ball selections from Bowl A = 15

Experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A = (Total red ball selections from Bowl A / Total selections from Bowl A) * 100% = (15 / 20) * 100% = 0.75 * 100% = 75%

Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is 75%.
