#192#

You can use proportions for these sort of problems.

A percentage just means out of 100, so 256% just means #256/100#.

You have the value out of one hundred; you just need to find the value of 256% out of 75.

So,

#256/100=x/75," "x# being the unknown number.

Solve as you would any other equation.

#256=(100x)/75#

#100x=19200#

#x=192#

I cross-multiplied to get this answer, but you can use simplification at certain points to make the process easier if you don't have a calculator.
