Answer:

20%

Explanation:

To solve, we can calculate how much 1,600,000 is of 8,000,000 as a decimal and then solve from there.

Let's say our missing value is x.

x of 8,000,000 = 1,600,000

"x of something", in this case, can be rephrased as "x * something", so we have

x * 8,000,000 = 1,600,000

divide both sides by 8,000,000 to isolate x

x = 1,600,000/8,000,000 = 0.2

to convert from a decimal to percentage, multiply by 100

0.2 * 100 = 20

20% is our answer
