To determine what number 4 is 16% of, we can follow these steps:
1. Understand the Problem: - We need to find a number such that 16% of it equals 4.
2. Set Up the Equation: - Let the unknown number be [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. - Therefore, 16% of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] equals 4. Mathematically, this is expressed as: [tex]\[
0.16x = 4
\][/tex]
3. Solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]: - To isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex], divide both sides of the equation by 0.16: [tex]\[
x = \frac{4}{0.16}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the Division: - Calculate the division to find [tex]\( x \)[/tex]: [tex]\[
x = 25
\][/tex]
