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:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{150}{0.25}=x\text{ } \\ \text{ Simplify and rearrange} \\ x=\frac{150}{0.25} \\ x=600 \end{gathered}[/tex]We can double check this by:
[tex]600(.25)=150[/tex]Therefore, the answer is 600.
