Agustin Reilly · Answer 1

Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)

Jaime Haley · Answer 2

Divide both by the GCF (4) and get 6 is 4 percent of what number? To get 100% just multiply by 25 for both and finally you get 6x25 or 150
