Answer (Three Different Forms):

Decimal:

156.25

Fraction:


(625)/(4)

Mixed Number:


156(1)/(4)

Explanation:

96% is the same as 0.96, and so this problem can be written algebrically as:

0.96 ⋅ x = 150

Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.96 to isolate the variable:

x =
(150)/(0.96)

Divide/simplify
(150)/(0.96) to get the following three options (you can choose which one to use):

Decimal:

156.25

Fraction:


(625)/(4)

Mixed Number:


156(1)/(4)

Hope this helps! :)
