The percentage of a given number is the fraction of that number required for consideration.

To determine the required fraction of the given number in the question, express the given statement in mathematical terms.

So that:

16% of 50 = [tex]\frac{16}{100}[/tex] x 50

                 = 0.16 * 50

                 = 8
