Explanation:

Comment

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
