Question

Find the number whose 16 2/3 percent is 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is parts of 100.

Note that the % sign is like units of measurement. Its value to be considered as: 1100

An example: 2% is the same as 2×1100=2100

So the 1623% is the same as  1623×1100

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Write 1623 as 16+23

Change into fractions of 100 parts

16100+23100

But 23100=23×1100

Now we have 16100+2×13×100

16100+2300

Before we can add these directly we need to make the bottom numbers the same (denominators)

Need to change the 100 in 16100 into 300.

Multiply by 1 but in the form of 33

16×3100×3+2300

=48300+2300=50300

Simplifying gives:

=50÷10300÷10=530

=5÷530÷5=16

Answer 2

3/2*16

we should cancel 2 by 16

answer get 8

3*8

=24%
