Here's how you solve this:

translate the question into math terms. "what" is an unknown value, so make it x, a variable. "is" is =. you convert 30% (30 out of 100) into a decimal, which is .3 out of 1. in math, "of" always means multiplying.

so what is 30 percent of 16

means x=.3x16

all you have to do is multiply .3 by 16 to get the answer

it's 4.8
