Question

60% of what number is 150?

Answer 1

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you must make a proportion of x/150 60/100. Then you need to find the relation between 100 and 150 which is x 1.5. Then apply the same thing to 60 which results in 90.

Answer 2

Answer: 250

You must set this up as a proportion

Remember the percent is always over 100

150/x=60/100

Then solve the proportion

60x=15000

Get the x by its self

15000/60 is 250

x=250
