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

30 = 100 % 3 = 10 % 0.3 = 1 % 0.3 x 16 = 4.8 or 30 x 0.16 = 4.8
"Percent" = "of 100". So 30 is 30% of 100.
18 percent of 30 is 5.4
20 percent is lower than 30 percent.
