Answer 2

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.
