Answer: At a glance without computing or figuring out tools like ballpen and paper or calculator you could answer outright 100%.
This is the however the procedure:
y = 160% / 160
y = 1 or 100%

The answer to if x=160% of y,what percent is y of x ?
is 160%
If the question is supposed to be
if x=160% of y,what percent is x of y?
Then 62.5% is the answer
x = 160%y
x = 1.6y
x/1.6 = y
0.625x = y
62.5%x = y

160% = 160/100 = 16/10 = 8/5
Then, x= 8/5 y
y= x : 8/5
y= 5/8 x

You know that x = 1.6y, so y = x / 1.6. You compute 1/1.6 and you get 0.9434 so y = 94.34% of x

x=1.6y
