here is the correct answer please mark me brainliest and give thanks
Answer:
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 642 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 642, so we can write it down as 100%=642.
4. We know, that x% equals 16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=642
2) x%=16
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=642/16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 16 is what percent of 642
100%/x%=642/16
(100/x)*x=(642/16)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.125*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.125) to get x
100/40.125=x
2.4922118380062=x
x=2.4922118380062
now we have:
16 is 2.4922118380062% of 642
