Understanding Percent, Amount, and Base

The video tutorial explains how to identify the percent, amount, and base in a problem where 150 is 25% of an unknown number. It demonstrates how to rewrite 25% as a decimal (0.25) and solve the equation by determining that the base must be larger than 150. The solution involves multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to find that the base is 600, confirming that 25% of 600 is indeed 150.
