You can write it several ways. Here are two:

1) Proportion
160/1.00=x/0.95
(160 is the whole, 1.00 or 100%, and x is 95% of the whole. Solve for x.)
x=160*0.95 = 152/1 = 152
1.00

2) Simple multiplication expression
"of" in math almost always means "multiply"
95% becomes 0.95. Multiply 0.95 by 160 to get your answer.
0.95*160=152

Either way, you get 152, so that is your final answer.
