Obasi earns 150% of his regular hourly wage while working overtime.

Let us convert percentage into fraction first:

To convert a percentage into fraction we need to use the following formula:

a%
=(a)/(100)

Here, he earns 150% of his hourly wage while working overtime:

So,

150%=
=(150)/(100) =(3)/(2) =1.5

Obasi earns
(3)/(2) of his hourly earnings or 1.5 times of his hourly earnings while working overtime.
