Question

150 is 25% of what number

Answer 1

Given:

150 is 25% of what number?

To find the number which is the 25% is 150, we use the percentage formula:

Y/P% = X

Where:

P%= percentange

We let:

y=150

P%=25%=25/100=0.25

We plug in what we know:

`\begin{gathered} (150)/(0.25)=x\text{ } \\ \text{ Simplify and rearrange} \\ x=(150)/(0.25) \\ x=600 \end{gathered}`

We can double check this by:

`600(.25)=150`

Therefore, the answer is 600.
