Answer:

200

150 is 75% of 200

Explanation:

150 is 75% of what number

we can change this so it is simpler to understand.

150 = 75% of x

whenever it says "of" it is telling you to multiply

150 = 75% * x

now we simplify

150 = 75/100 * x

150 = 75x/100

*100 *100

15000 = 75x

/75 /75

200 = x

150 is 75% of 200
