You can put this solution on YOUR website!
50% of something is exactly the same as multiplying 0.5 times that something, so your equation should be:

0.5n=16

Divide both sides by 0.5 to determine the value of n. Alternatively you could multiply both sides by 2, because dividing by 1%2F2 is exactly the same as multiplying by 2.
