Per cent means out of 100, so a percentage is a fraction with a bottom of 100.
16 does not go exactly into 100, so there is no whole-number way to make the bottom 100. Go through the decimal instead:
- Divide the top by the bottom: 11 ÷ 16 = 0.6875.
- Multiply by 100, which moves every digit two places to the left: 68.75%.
