To find what percentage 16 is of 80, we can use the formula: (part/whole) * 100. Here, the part is 16 and the whole is 80. We will then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Step 1: Identify the Part and Whole
We are given that the part is 16 and the whole is 80.
Step 2: Apply the Percentage Formula
To find what percentage 16 is of 80, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \right) \times 100
\]
Step 3: Substitute the Values
Substitute the given values into the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{16}{80} \right) \times 100
\]
Step 4: Simplify the Expression
Simplify the fraction and perform the multiplication:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( 0.2 \right) \times 100 = 20.0
\]
