The first thing to do is change 58% to a decimal.

So, 58% = 0.58
The equation now looks like this:

(16/x) = 58

To remove the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by x.

This will produce 16 = 0.58x as you know.

We now divide 16 by 0.58 to find x.

16/0.58 = x

27.5862069 = x

We can round off 27.5862069 to the nearest tenths to get 27.6 = x.
