Question

150% of 48 is? I'm confused

Answer 1

Since you need to calculate the 150% of 48, you can identify that 48 represents the 100%.

In this case, let be "x" the 150% of 48.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{48}{100}=\frac{x}{150}$

Now you need ot solve for "x" in order to find its value. To do this, you can apply the Multiplication property of equality by multiplying both sides of the equation by 150. Then, you get:

$\begin{gathered} (150)(\frac{48}{100})=(\frac{x}{150})(150) \\ \\ \frac{7200}{100}=x \\ \\ x=72 \end{gathered}$

The answer is:

$72$
