$\frac{150}{100} = 150 %$ $150/100 = 150%$

A percent can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 100.

$\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{50}{50} = \frac{150}{100} = 150 %$ $3/2 xx50/50 = 150/100 = 150%$

If the denominator is not a factor of $100$ $100$ , then you multiply the fraction by $100 %$ $100%$

$\frac{3}{2} \times 100 % = 150 %$ $3/2 xx 100% = 150%$

Other examples:

$\frac{21}{36} \times 100 % = 58.3 %$ $21/36 xx 100% =58.3%$

$\frac{25}{35} \times 100 % = 71.4 %$ $25/35 xx100% = 71.4%$

Hope this helps.
