A percentage can be written as a value divided by 100, so assume that this percentage is
(x)/(100). In most of these equations, "of" refers to multiplication, while "is" refers to equals. So you can rewrite the equation in terms of math,
(x)/(100)*150=75. So first, you can simplify the
(150x)/(100) on the left side to
(3x)/(2) by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 50. So now multiply both sides by 2 and divide by 3.
3x=75(2)=150 then
3x=150, x=50. So 50 percent of 150 is 75.
