Question

What is 150% of 128?

Answer 1

Hint: We need to find the fraction form and the decimal of 150%. We convert the percentage in fraction by changing the position of the decimal point. Then we multiply the fraction with 128 to get the value of 150% of 128.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We need to find the value of 150% of 128.
For the given percentage 150%, we first convert it into fraction form.
We know for any arbitrary percentage value of a%, we can write it as $ \dfrac{a}{100} $ . The percentage is to find the respective value out of 100.
Now for 150%, we can write it as $ \dfrac{150}{100} $ . Now we simplify the fraction which in turn gives the decimal.
The GCD is 50. Dividing with 50, we get $ \dfrac{150}{100}=\dfrac{3}{2} $ .
We multiply the fraction $ \dfrac{3}{2} $ with 128 to get $ \dfrac{3}{2}\times 128=192 $ .
Therefore, 150% of 128 is 192.
So, the correct answer is “192”.

Note: The value of the fraction is actually the unitary value of 150 out of 100. Therefore, in percentage value we got 150 as the percentage. Percentage deals with the ratio out of 100. The ratio value for both fraction and percentage is the same.
