We will complete the given blanks in the given expressions that is equal to 16%.
A. ____ for every 100 = 16%
Let the unknown value be 'x'
x for every 100 = 16%
[tex] \frac{x}{100}=\frac{16}{100} [/tex]
x = 16
Therefore, 16 for every 100 is 16% that is 0.16
B. ___ for every 50 = 16%
Let the unknown value be 'y'
y for every 50 = 16%
[tex] \frac{y}{50}=\frac{16}{100} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{y}{50}=0.16 [/tex]
y = 8
Therefore, 8 for every 50 is 16%.
C. 1 for every ___ is 16%
Let the unknown value be 'z'
1 for every z is 16%
[tex] \frac{1}{z}=\frac{16}{100} [/tex]
[tex] 100=16z [/tex]
[tex] z=\frac{100}{16} [/tex]
z=6.25
1 for every 6.25 is 16%.
D. 0.5 for every ___ is 16%
Let the unknown value be 'w'
0.5 for every w is 16%
[tex] \frac{0.5}{w}=\frac{16}{100} [/tex]
[tex] 50=16w [/tex]
[tex] w=\frac{50}{16} [/tex]
w = 3.125
1 for every 3.125 is 16%.
