Question

what is the percent of 40 is 16

Answer 1

To do this take 16/40 = ?/100. These are two fractions that are equivalent. 16 is the part (part of the whole amount). 40 is the base (the whole amount). Likewise the answer you want-the percent or ? is the part out of the whole which is 100. 

So if you cross multiply diagonally. (Do NOT simplify fractions!) Then 16 x 100 = 1600 and 40 x ? will also equal 1600. So just divide 1600 by 40 to get the answer ? which is 40. So it's 40%. Check it by thinking half of 40 is 50% which would be 20, so 40% would be a little less than 20. 16 is a little less than 20, so it's a correct answer. 

40%.

Answer 2

Answer:

We will get the  40% of 40 is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

        Given data:- x% of 40 is 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.

• It is denoted by %.

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

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

       Therefore,

      $x \% \text { of } 40 \text { is } 16\\\\=>\frac{x}{100}\times40=16\\\\=>\frac{40x}{100}=16\\\\=>40x=16\times100\\\\=>40x=1600\\\\=>x=\frac{1600}{40} \\\\=>x=40\%$
