Sixteen and two thirds percent of x equals 3.2 what is x?

Can anyone help me solve this my final answer I get is forty eight over two hundred fifty but I am not sure if this is correct?

    Percent ($\%$) means divided by $100$. So it is a funny way to refer to the fraction $\frac{\frac{50}{3}}{100}$. This simplifies to $1/6$.2012-05-03

Hint: $16\frac 23 \%=\frac {50}3 \cdot \frac 1{100}=\frac 16$
