Answer by LinnW(1048) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You could solve by proportion.
+x%2F150+=+75%2F100
Cross products gives us x%2A100+=+150%2A75
100x = 11250
x = 112.50
Here we have solved for the number that we need right,
so the number we can miss is 150 - 112.50 = 37.50 .
