Fill in the missing number.

Question

20% of = 16

Answer 1

20% of x = 16

To find the missing number x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

We can start by writing 20% as a decimal, which is 0.20.

0.20 * x = 16

Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.20 to solve for x:

x = 16 / 0.20

x = 80

Therefore, 20% of 80 is equal to 16.
