Question

.. 600 is what percent of 150?

Answer 1

Answer:

400%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a percent proportion:

600/x = 150/100

a:b = c:d

a and d are linked and b and c are linked. So if a is missing, you would do (b*c)/d to get a, if b was missing, you would do (a*d)/c to get b, etc.

So over here we do

(600*100)/150 = 60,000/150 = 400, so x = 400, so that means it's 400% of 150

We can also use benchmark fractions which I find much easier:

100% of 150 is 150.

So 200% of 150 is 300

So 300% of 150 is 450

And 400% of 140 is 600

Every time it increases by 100%, it also increases by 150 on the other side, which makes sense

Let me know if you have any questions.
