    Percentage is parts of 100.

    An example: 2% is 2100

    So we need to convert your 16 23 % into parts of 100

    Write 16 23 as 16 + 23

    Change into fractions of 100 parts

    16100 + 23 100

    But 23 100 = 23 * 1100

    Now we have 16100 + 2*1 3*100

    16100 + 2300

    Before we can add these directly we need to make the bottom numbers the same (denominators)

    Need to change the 100 in 16100 into 300.

    Multiply by 1 but in the form of 33

    16*3 100*3 + 2300

    = 48300 + 2300 = 50300

    Simplifying gives:

    = 50:10 300:10 = 5/30 =

    5:5 30:5 = (1/6)
