$150/100 = 150%$

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

$3/2 xx50/50 = 150/100 = 150%$

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

$3/2 xx 100% = 150%$

Other examples:

$21/36 xx 100% =58.3%$

$25/35 xx100% = 71.4%$

Hope this helps.
