Percent means "per hundred." For example, 25% means 25 per hundred, which is #"25"/"100"#. So #"3"/"4"#% means #"3"/"4"# per hundred, which is #"3/4"/"100"#. So multiply 16 times 3/4 then divide by 100.

#"16"# x #"3/4"/"100"# = #"12"/"100"# = #"0.12"#

or

#"16"# x #"3"/"4"# #-:# #"100"# = #"48"/"4"# #-:# #"100"# = #"12" -: 100"# = #"0.12"#
