16 is 50% of what number?

Answer 1

To find out what number 16 is 50% of, you can use the formula:

$$\text{Number}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Percentage}}$$

In this case, the part is 16 and the percentage is 50% (or 0.5 when expressed as a decimal).

$$\text{Number}=\frac{16}{0.5}=32$$

Thus, 16 is 50% of 32.
