This week, the art museum gave away 1,200 tickets to the Greco exhibit, which was 150 percent as many tickets as it gave away last week. Martin is trying to figure out how many tickets the museum gave away last week. His work is shown below.  

Step 1:  mc020-1.jpg
Step 2:  mc020-2.jpg 
Step 3:  mc020-3.jpg

In what step did Martin make a mistake, if any?   

Step 1: Martin should have written his ratio as mc020-4.jpg.

Step 2:  Martin should have divided 1200 by 8.

Step 3:  Martin should have added 1200 and 150.

Martin did not make any mistakes.

(this week)/(last week)=1200/?=150/100=8*150/8*100=1200/800.
