Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Given: If 33.33 % of a number is added to 16, then the result is the number itself. So, if $\frac{1}{3}$ of a number is added to 16, then the result is the number itself. Let the number be $x$. According to the question, $x=\frac{x}{3}+16$ ⇒ $x-\frac{x}{3}=16$ ⇒ $\frac{2x}{3}=16$ ⇒ $x=16×\frac{3}{2}$ ⇒ $x=24$ Hence, the correct answer is 24.
