To solve the equation \( x \cdot 50 - 94 = 189 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Add 94 to both sides of the equation:

\[
x \cdot 50 = 189 + 94
\]

\[
x \cdot 50 = 283
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by 50 to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{283}{50}
\]

3. Performing the division:

\[
x = 5.66
\]

Given the options:
- 15,000
- 150
- 1,500
- 150,000

The closest and best estimate for \( x \) is \( 150 \).
