Question 368412
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.
