Question

16 is 12% of what number?

Answer 1

Alright, So We Need To Show Our Work.

16 12
---- = ----
X 100
So, We Need To Multiply Means And Extremes.

12 * x = 16 * 100
16 * 100 = 1600
12 * x = 12x

So:

12x = 1600.
Now, Divide.
X = 1600/12
1600/12 = 133 and 1/3
So:
X = 133 and 1/3

So, 16 Is 12 Percent Of 133 And 1/3.
