The percent sign is really per 100 - so you can convert this percentage to .16. The word of in a mathematical equation is the same as multiplication here. Hence the response:
.16 x 90 = 14.4
You can check your math by using the left over portion:
1.0 - .16 = .84 or 84 percent
.84 x 90 = 75.6
75.6 + 14.4= 90

Here's how to solve both of your questions on percentages.
16% = 16/100 = 0.16
"16% of 90" means "16% times 90"
so
16% of 90 = 16%â90 = (16/100)â90 = 0.16â90
Choose whichever is easiest for you to calculate.

IS/OF=%/100
the question asks what is
so that makes IS the X
the number after the word of is the OF so the OF iis 90
and then 16%
so X/90=16/100
i think you can go from there

I would do 90/100 = 0.9 ( this is 1%)
Then 0.9 x 16( as you want to find 16 %) = 14.4

%/100 = is/of
16/100 = x/90
100x =1440
x = 14.4
