Question

What percentage is 16 of 250?

Answer 1

Hint: The formula of finding the percentage is $\dfrac{Part}{Whole} = \dfrac{%}{100}$ . We just need to substitute the values to find the answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Step 1 : Let the percentage be X so now according to the question we have X percentage of 250 is 16.
Step 2 : Now we have to find the value of X so in order to find the X we have to substitute all the values in the percentage formula.
Step 3 : According to the question the value of Whole is 250 and the value of part is 16 and we already let the value of percentage be X.
Step 4 : just substitute the value and find the X.
Step 5 : After substituting all the value we get
$\dfrac{16}{250}$ = $\dfrac{X}{100}$
Take 100 to the left hand side in order to find X
$\dfrac{16 * 100}{250}$ = X
By dividing 100 with 250 we get 0.4. Now multiply it with 16.
$16*0.4$=X
Here we get the value of X:
6.4 = X
So the 6.4 percentage of 250 is 16.

Note: The percentage is a relative value indicating the 100th part of any quantity. One percent is a hundredth part . Whenever we get these types of questions we just have to find the given values and place them in formulae at their places and calculate.
