When we see the word 'is', we can often substitute =.
When we see the word 'of', we can call that multiplication.
'what number' is simply an unknown number, so call it x. 75% can be written as 75/100, or .75. So the above statement can be written this way:
150 = .75 x
From here, use simple algebra - divide both sides by .75 to get the answer.

It's just asking 3/4 of what number is 150. And of course 150 is 3/4 of 200
