What is 16 over 25 written as a percent?

Answer 1

16 over 25 means 16 parts per 25. Percent means parts per 100. So, we need to convert the parts per 25 to parts per 100. Since 4 times 25 is 100, we can do this by multiplying the parts per 25 by 4.

4 times 16 is 64. Therefore, 16 over 25 equals 64 percent.
