16 is what percent of 24?
16/24 = .66666666 = 67%
Find the percent of increase from $80 to $100?
100 - 80 = 20
20/ 80 = .25= 25%
hope this helps!

67% All you have to do is divide 16 by 24 (16/24) You can reduce the fraction to 2/3 and the division is easier. the exact answer is 66.66..% rounded=67%
the algebraic equation is 80 + 80x = 100 (x=the percent)
which reduces to: x = 20/80 or 1/4 which is a 25% increase
limallama was WRONG ! and then corrected answer

16 is 67% of 24. 16/24 is .666667=67%
If you increase from $80 to $100 then that is a $20 increase. $20 is 25% of $80. 20/80 is 0.25=25%

answer:
set up a ratio:
16 x
--- = ---
24 100
cross multiply 16(100) = 24 x
simplify x = 66.66666666
round = 67%
set the ratio
100 x
----- = -----
80 100
cross mulitply 10000 = 80x
simplify x = 125%
done!
