300

1) In this case, let's set the equation to find this:


\begin{gathered} (5n)/(10)=150 \\ \\ 10*\text{ }(5n)/(10)=1500 \\ \\ (5n)/(5)=(1500)/(5) \\ \\ n=300 \\ \end{gathered}

Note that since we can set in this equation "n" as the number, we can tell that 300 x 5 and then divided by 10 is 150.

2) Thus, the answer is 300
