Just divide.

1600 / 6400 = 0.25

0.25 * 100 = 25%

Clayton Rivera · Answer 2

We know that 1600 is an unknown percent of 6400, so we can write it down as:

1600 = x% from 6400

1600 = x/100 * 6400

1600 = x * 64

1600 = 64x / : 64 (both sides)

x = 25

Doublecheck:

6400 * 25% =

= 6400 * 25/100 =

= 6400 * 1/4 =

= 6400/4 =

= 1600, so it's correct; )
