Answer:

32 2/6

Explanation:

150% of what number is 49

Can be written as;

1.5x = 49

( To find the percent of a number, one has to move the decimal back two spaces on the percent ( because a percent is out of 100), and then multiply by the number)

Use inverse operations to solve;

1.5x = 49

/1.5 /1.5

x = 32 2/3
