Answer 1

To find the number of which 150 is 25%, we can set up the equation using equivalent ratios.

We know that 25% can be expressed as a fraction: \( \frac{25}{100} \). To find the unknown number (let's call it \( x \)), we set up the following equation:

\[ \frac{150}{x} = \frac{25}{100} \]

Next, we can cross-multiply to solve for \( x \):

\[ 150 \times 100 = 25 \times x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 15000 = 25x \]

Now, we divide both sides by 25:

\[ x = \frac{15000}{25} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 600 \]

So, 150 is 25% of 600.
