Problem Statement
We are given a problem where we need to find a number that 32000 is 16% of. In other words, we need to find a number that when multiplied by 0.16 (which is equivalent to 16%) gives us 32000.
Solution
To solve this problem, we can use the following formula:
Let x be the number we are looking for
32000 = 0.16x
Steps to Solve
- Divide both sides by 0.16
To get rid of the 0.16 on the right side of the equation, we can divide both sides by 0.16.
32000 ÷ 0.16 = x
- Perform the division
Now, let's perform the division.
32000 ÷ 0.16 = 200000
Answer
Therefore, 32000 is 16% of 200000.
