Step-by-step explanation:
96% is the same as 0.96, and so this problem can be written algebrically as:
0.96 ⋅ x = 150
Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.96 to isolate the variable:
x = [tex]\frac{150}{0.96}[/tex]
Divide/simplify [tex]\frac{150}{0.96}[/tex] to get the following three options (you can choose which one to use):
Decimal:
156.25
Fraction:
[tex]\frac{625}{4}[/tex]
Mixed Number:
[tex]156\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Hope this helps! :)
