If you divide 100 by 3, you get 33 1/3.
33 1/3% is therefore equivalent to the fraction 1/3.
When you double 33 1/3 you get 66 2/3, making 66 2/3% equivalent to 2/3.
2 / 3 of 150 = 2 * 150 / 3 = 300 / 3 = 100.

When manipulating a mixed number, it makes everything easier to convert it to a fraction. Multiply the whole number (66) by the denominator (3) to get 198. The number 66 can then be converted to 198/3. Add the 2/3 to it and now you have 66 2/3 = 200/3. Since it's a percentage, now you have to divide the whole thing by 100 to make it a decimal number. 200/3 / 100/1 . To divide, invert the divider and multiply--thus, 200/3 x 1/100 = 200/300. Reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 100 and you now have 2/3. 2/3 of 150 is the same as saying 2/3 x 150/1. Again, multiply across and you get 300/3. Reduce this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 and you end up with 100. So, 66 2/3% of 150 is 100.

66 2/3% is just another way of saying 2/3.
Multiply 150 by 2/3 and voila! There's your answer.

2 of your answers have used the number 66% although the way you have typed it in , it is 66+ 2/3%.
So I will figure it on that premis.

150 X66.6666=99.9999
rounded to the next highest number 100

A percentage is written as a decimal point and the number (ex:75% is written as 0.75), so 66 2/3% of 150 is written as

150 x 66.66%=99.99 or
150 x 0.6666 = 99.99

The word "of" as in the question means to multiply.

When looking at fractions like 2/3, consider the slash (/) to mean "divided by". So 2 divided by 3 equals 0.666666..., so the percent is actually 66.66666...%

Because a percent is also a fraction (i.e. 50% as a fraction is 1/2), it can also be converted to a decimal. To do this, you don't need to divide or figure out what the fraction is -- just move the decimal in 66.6666...% two spaces to the left. That gives you 0.66666666....

Multiply 150 by 0.66666... and your answer is 99.99999...
That's it.
