There are two ways of getting an answer.
1. Decimal
You can change 48% into .48 because a % sign means multiplied by 100
Then multiply .48 with 150.
.48%2A150=72
2. Fraction
You can change 48% into 48%2F100
That reduces to 24%2F50which in turn reduces to 12%2F25
Then multiply 12%2F25 with 150
12%2F25%2A150=72
You can use either way to solve this problem. It depends on whether you are more comfortable using decimals or fractions.
Hope this helps!
