Question

150% of what number is 36?

Answer 1

150% de 36 = 
150/100*36 = 
(150*36)/100 = 
(15*36)/10 = 
540/10 = 
54

Answer 2

Let x be that number.
"150% of" means 150% multiplied by. And 150% = 150/100.
So (150/100)x = 36.
1.5x = 36
Then, you divide each side by 1.5 so you can get x alone on a side, and the number on the other.
(1.5x)/1.5 = 36/1.5
x= 24.

So 36 is 150% of 24.

Hope this Helps! :)
