1. The problem is to find the result of subtracting 25% from 150. 2. Recall that 25% means 25 per 100, or 0.25 in decimal form. 3. To find 25% of 150, multiply 150 by 0.25: $$150 \times 0.25 = 37.5$$ 4. Now subtract this value from 150: $$150 - 37.5 = 112.5$$ 5. Therefore, 150 minus 25% of 150 equals 112.5.
