Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 25% is the same as 1/4. We can do the same thing as if we were changing 1/4 into a whole 1/4·4=1. So 25%·4=1. So 150·4 is our answer. So 150·4=600. There are 600 gumballs in the machine. :D

Answer:

600 Gumballs in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Write it as a proportion.

25/100 = 150/x

25x = 15000

x = 600 gumballs

OR

You could multiply 150 by 4 because 25% equals 1/4.
