Think of your percent of as an unknown; let's call it "x". Whenever you see "of" in a math problem, it will usually mean multiplication. Similarly, the word "is" means "equals". So taking "what percent of 38 is 16?" and translating it to a math equation:

x*38 = 16

x = 16 ÷ 38

x = .421 = 42.1%

About 42.1% of 38 is 16.
