16%

Answer 1

16%

Step-by-step explanation: If its 16.2 out of 90 its %16 bc the .2 is not more than 5

Answer 2

18%

Explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 90 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=90

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=16.2

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

Therefore, 16.2 is 18% of 90
