Let the unknown number = x
You should try and figure out if x is bigger than 150 or less than 150.
The equation will tell you.
96/100 * x = 150 96/100 = .96 So you will get something larger than 150 for x
Combine
96/100 = 0.96
Equation
.96*x = 150 Divide by 0.946
.96x/.96 = 150/0.96
Answer
x = 156.25
And as predicted, the answer is larger than 150, because you were dividing by a number less than 1
