25 x 4 =100
150 x 4 = 600
checking work
.25 x 600= 150

Answer:

z = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1 - ratios

If 150 is 25% then z is 100%:

[tex]\begin{aligned} 150 : 25 & = z : 100\\\dfrac{150}{25} & = \dfrac{z}{100}\\150 \cdot 100 & = 25z\\15000 & = 25z\\z & = \dfrac{15000}{25}\\z & = 600 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Method 2

Calculate the amount for 1%, then multiply by 100% to find z:

25% = 150

⇒ 1% = 150 ÷ 25 = 6

⇒ z = 100% = 6 x 100 = 600
