Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

5% is 16

To Find -

The number of which 5% is 16

Solution -

Percentage means divide the number by 100.

Let, the number is $x$

We can write given equation as,

$\frac{5}{100}\times x = 16$

$x = 16 \times \frac{100}{5}$

Divide 100 by 5

$x = 16 \times 20$

$x = 320$

∴ 320 is the number of which 5% is 16 .

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the required number.

       Given data:- $5\%\ is\ 16.$

       To find:- the required number.

       Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.

• It is denoted by $\% .1 \% means \frac{1}{100}.$
• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.
• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.
• Percentages are reversible. For example, $30 \%of 40$is the same as $40 \%of30.$

       According to the question,

      Let the number be $x.$

         $\Rightarrow \frac{5}{100}\times x=16\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{16\times100}{5}\\\Rightarrow x=320.$

      Hence, the required number will be $320.$
