To solve this problem, use the rule of three:
3,436 - 100%
150 - x
Where x is the unknown value:
Since the values are proportional:
[tex]\frac{3436}{100}=\frac{150}{x}[/tex]Multiplying both sides by 100x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3436\cdot100\cdot x}{100}=\frac{150\cdot100\cdot x}{x} \\ 3436x=15000 \end{gathered}[/tex]And dividing both sides by 3,436:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3436}{3436}x=\frac{15000}{3436} \\ x=4.4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: 4.4%.
