There is another method, make a proportion, but I like this one much better.

Make an equation:

x= 16% x 50

x= 16 50

---- x ---- Cross Multiply

100 1

x= 16

------ = 8

Another Method:

Note that 50 is half of 100, so you want half of 16, and that is 8. This works because you can transfer the percent sign from one term to the other, i.e. 50% of 16, due to the associatative property of multiplication.
