Answer 2

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

           Given data:-  $20\%$ of $x=16.$

           To find:- Value of x.

            Solution:-

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

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

         $\frac{20}{100} \times x=16\\=0.2\times x=16\\x=\frac{16}{0.2} \\x=80.$

Hence we will get the value of $x=80.$
