Hint: In this problem we need to find the 150% of 32. For this we need to multiply 150% with a given number 32. Now we will replace the percentage symbol with 1100. After that we will write all the numbers in the equation in factorization form. Now we will simplify the equation by cancelling all possible terms in the equation and performing some basic mathematical operation to get the required result.

Complete step by step answer:
Given number is 32 and the given percentage is 150%. The 150% of 32 can be calculated by multiplying the both the values, then we will get
150% of 32=150%×32
Replacing percentage symbol(%) with 1100 in the above equation, then we will get
150% of 32=150×1100×32
Writing 150 as 15×10, 100 as 10×10 in the above equation, then we will have
150% of 32=15×10×110×10×32
Cancelling the 10 which is in numerator and denominator, then we will get
150% of 32=15×110×32
Writing 15 as 3×5, 10 as 5×2 and 32 as 2×16 in the above equation, then we will get
150% of 32=3×5×15×2×2×16
Cancelling the terms 5 and 2 which are in numerator and denominator in the above equation, then we will have
150% of 32=3×16
We have the value 3×16 as 48. Substituting this value in the above equation, then we will get
150% of 32=48

Hence the 150% of 32 is 48.

Note: We can also solve this problem in another way. We can first calculate the value of 150% by multiplying the value with 1100. Then we will get 150100 on simplifying this value we will get 32. Now multiplying this value with 32, then we will get 32×32. Simplifying this value, we will get 48. From both the methods we got the same result.
