Question

16 is 25% of what number?

  1. 16%
  2. 32%
  3. 48%
  4. 64%

hintHint:

When a certain quantity is divided into 100 equal parts and a certain part of it is to be expressed in terms of the whole quantity, that portion is called as a percent, represented with a % sign.
Eg.- If we have 1,000 as the number of students in class 12th in a certain college with 700 inhouse students and 300 new entrants and we want to represent the number of inhouse students and new entrants as a percentage of the total population, we divide 1,000 in 100 equal parts i.e. 1,000/100, we get 1% = 10. Hence, inhouse students and new entrants are 70% (10*70 i.e. 700) and 30% (10*30 i.e. 300), respectively.

The correct answer is: 64%


    To find- 25% of what number is 16.
    Solution-
    Let the number be x.
    We know that 25% can be written as 25/100.
    ∴ 25% of x = 16
    ∴ 25/100 * x = 16
    ∴ x = 16 * 100/ 25
    ∴ x = 64
    Final Answer- Option 'd' i.e. '64' is the correct answer to the given question.

    The final answer is a number and shouldn’t have a percentage sign. The given options have been given in percentage form by mistake.
