Do you mean 1/16 percent of 25?Akashdeep13 wrote:What is 16th percent of 25= ?

Let's assume that you do...
Foundational examples:
First recognize that 13% of something is the same as 13/100 TIMES something
Likewise, 45% of something is the same as 45/100 TIMES something
So....
1/16 percent of 25 = [(1/16)/100](25)
= (1/1600)(25)
= 25/1600
= 1/64
= A
Cheers,
Brent

But i think you made a typo in the question as Brent pointed out.
1/16th percent = (1/16)*(1/100)*25 = 1/64
Correct Option: A
Was there any particular problem that you facing with this question?
