Explanation:
__________________________________________________
[tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex] * 200 = 150 ;
__________________________________________________
Solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________
→ Divide each side of the equation by "200" ;
__________________________________________
→ ( [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex] * 200) / 200 = 150 / 200 ;
__________________________________________
→ [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{150}{200} [/tex] ;
__________________________________________________
↔ [tex] \frac{150}{200} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex] ;
___________________________________________________
→ (150 ÷ 2) / (200 ÷ 2) = x / 100 ; Solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________________
→ x = 150 ÷ 2 = 75 .
