Answer: 28
Explanation:
16% = 0.16
Percents are just decimals!
Now you can put this in your calculator, and you will get 28.
However:
It might help you later to know that x% of y = y% of x
In other words, 16% of 175 is the same thing as 175% of 16
This problem is easier, since we can break 175% into 1 and 3/4th. 3/4th of 16 is easy to calculate, (its 12), and so we can add 12 to 16 to find the answer, which is still 28 :)
No calculator needed!
