142.5

This is a part because we are asked to find what part of 150 is 95 percent of 150. In order to find a part, we take the percentage and divide it by 100 to turn it into a decimal. We multiply this decimal by the original number to get the answer. Thus, we divide 95 by 100 to get .95. We multiply 150 by .95 to get an answer of 142.5.
