1.6 is 8% of what?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

1.6:8*100 =

(1.6*100):8 =

160:8 = 20

Now we have: 1.6 is what percent of 8 = 20

Question: 1.6 is what percent of 8?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 8 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 $100\%=8$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=1.6$.

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

$100\%=8(1)$.

$x\%=1.6(2)$.

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

{100\%}{x}={8}{1.6}

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

{100\%}={1.6}{8}

x=20

Therefore, $1.6$ is $20 of $8$.

Answer 2

1.6 is 8% of 20
