Question

. Find the value of
(i) 16% of 125​

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 125 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=125$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=16$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=125(1)$.

$x\%=16(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{125}{16}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

16% of 125

$125 \times \frac{16}{100} \\ = 5 \times \frac{16}{4} \\ = 5 \times 4 \\ = 20$

16% of 125 is 20
