Answer:

A. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem, instead of doing 80/100 times 16, we can do 100/80 times 16 (inverse of percentage, basically).

  • [tex]\frac{100}{80} *16[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{5}{4} *16[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{80}{4}[/tex]
  • [tex]20[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is A. 20.
