When you are finding a percentage you have to first turn the percentage into a decimal. So for example, 10% would need to be changed to .10. Next, multiply the number 150 by .10 and move your decimal over 2 times at the end of your multiplication problem because you have 2 numbers after the decimal in the number .10. If you multiply correctly your number will be 1500 and once you replace your decimal at the end the answer will be 15.
