Sixteen percent of 4200 is what number? Work the problem and then draw a diagram of the problem.

Answer 1

16% of 4200 means .16*4200=672.

I am not sure what is wanted by a diagram of the problem.

Answer 2

.16(4200) = 16(42) = 672

672 = 16% of 4200

15% of 4200 = 630

1% = 42

16 =15+1. 630+42 = 672

Diagram?

Maybe draw a rectangle, 60 by 70, which has an area of 60(70) = 4200

1% is a corner of the rectangle, 6 by 7 = 42

10% = 10 x 420 = 420, 10 smaller rectangles same size as the corner

6% is another 6 rectangles each 6 by 7 = 6(42) = 252

16% =10+6% = 420+252 = 672

so cut up the big rectangle into smaller rectangles and sum their areas.
