150 is correct by Bodmas Principles:


The Bodmas rule states that division and multiplication must be done before addition and subtraction in any mathematical example. And if there are brackets (or parentheses) and orders (of powers or roots), these must be done first of all. For example in the question 47 + 54 ÷ 9 the answer is 53 not 11.2r.
