16 over x = 8 over 100.
cross multiply:
16 *100=x*8
1600=8x
1600 divided by 8= 200
check:
does 200*8=16*100

Rewrite your question into an equation whre is means =, of means *.
16 is 8% of what #
16 = 8% * X
Now, convert your percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left. 8% => 0.08
16 = 0.08 * X
Divide both sides by 0.08 to solve for X.
16 / 0.08 = X
200 = X

For future reference, whenever you see math word problems and need to write the equation to solve them "is" translates to "=" and "of" translates to "x" (as in multiply). So for your question the equation becomes:
16=.08x X.
Therefore, solving for X,
16/.08 = X
X= 200
