pleaseee I really need it​

Answer 1

X = 229,950

Explanation:

Lets convert the sentence into an equation.

We can write "3/2 of what number?" as (2/3)X, where X is "what number."

"153,300 is" can be rephrased as "is 153,300", or = 153,300.

Put these together:

(2/3)X = 153,300

Solve:

(2/3)X = 153,300

(3/2)*(2/3)X = (3/2)*153,300

X = (3/2)*153,300

X = 3*(76,650)

X = 229,950

====

CHECK: Is (2/3) of 229,950 = 153,300? YES
