The way to calculate this is to work backwards, knowing that we can calculate the percentage of a number by multiplying it by the percentage and dividing by 100.

\(1970.67=x*16/100\)

By rearranging, we can find x as shown.

\(x=1970.67/0.16\)

\(x=12316.69\)

Therefore, 1,970.67 is 16% of 12,316.69.
