Question

What is 150 percent of 94?

Answer 1

Answer:

150% of 94 is 141.

Explanation:

There are ways to solve this problem:

1). When you have a problem with for example, 150%, 50%, you can find half of that number and then add the half to the original number:

Example 1: What is 50% of 168?

To solve this you need to find 1/2 of 168, you could divide by 2.

168 / 2 = 84. Your answer is 84.

If the question was 150%, you add the half to the regular number, 84 + 168 = 252.

2). You can do a proportion, (more comprehensive)

For a proportion you have to set it up as fraction bar = fraction bar.

You insert the number percent over 100, since percent is out of 100, then when you fine the word, "Of", the question is telling you to put the number after of on the 2nd fraction at the denominator.

Then, you multiply in a diagonal, the number than cannot become an diagonal is what you divide the product by. Then your  answer must be on the numerator of the 2nd fraction.

Example 1: What is 75% of 30.

You put 75 / 100 in the first fraction, then you put 30 on the bottom since it's after Of.

Next, you multiply in a diagonal, 75 / 100 = ? / 30, 30 and 75 is a diagonal, those are the 2 number we multiply, 30 x 75 = 2250, 100 is the number we divide by since it's not in a diagonal.

2250 / 100 = 22.50, you can move the decimal 2 spaces to the Left for this problem.

Solving The Problem:

-------------------------------------

What is 150% of 94, half of 94 is 47.

94 + 47 = 141

Check: 141 - 47 = 94. Correct.

Your answer is 141.

150 / 100 = ? / 94

94 x 150 = 14,100 / 100 = 141.

Check: 150% = 150/100 x 94 = 141. Correct

Best of Luck to you.
