Answer:
20%
Step-by-step 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 $8$.
