We need to convert this mixed number into a fraction first.

Explanation:

#2 1/6 = 13/6#

Next, we need to multiply the fraction on each half so that the denominator will be 10:

#13/6*(16.bar66)/(16.bar66)=(216.bar6)/100#

It isn't a pretty fraction, but we needed to do that in order tog et our percentage. Since the denominator is 100, the numerator will be the percentage. This gives us our answer of #216.bar6%#.
