What is 16% of y
\n" ); document.write( "The meaning of 16% is 16 out of 100
\n" ); document.write( "16% of y means the actual qustion is
\n" ); document.write( "we ask how many hundreds in y and then multiply it by 16
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore 16 % of y is given by (16y/100) = (4y/25)(canceling 5)
\n" ); document.write( "Note: To understand this better let us give life to y
\n" ); document.write( "say y = 800
\n" ); document.write( "Then 16% of 800 is (8X16) = 128
\n" ); document.write( "How did we hit upon this 8?
\n" ); document.write( " There are 8 hundreds in 800
\n" ); document.write( "how?
\n" ); document.write( "800/100 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "For every 100, we consider 16 (that is the meaning of 16%)
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore for eight 100s, we have to consider 8X16 = 128
\n" ); document.write( "similaly how many 100s in y
\n" ); document.write( "There are (y/100) hundreds in y
\n" ); document.write( "For every 100, we consider 16 (that is the meaning of 16%)
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore for (y/100) hundreds , we have to consider (y/100)X16
\n" ); document.write( "= 16y/100 = 4y/25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
