To earn 50/3 v invest 64.
So to earn 1500 v invest ?
Just do cross multiply i.e.,
V invest 64*1500*3/50 = Rs. 5760.

Here if you invest 64 Rs then you'll get 16 2/3%.
16 2/3% = 50/3 = 16.6Rs.
Which means you'll earn 16.6Rs.
In the question, one earns 1500 Rs then how much we invested?
64 ---- 16.6 or 50/3.
? ----- 1500.
= (1500*64)/(50/3).
= 1500*64*3/50.
= 5760.
16 2/3% = 50/3 = 16.6Rs.
Which means you'll earn 16.6Rs.

Income 1500 means dividend on total face value of stocks.
Dividend always earned on total face value of shares as per market value.
d = g/mv*fv.
16of2/3% means we gain(g) 50/3 at 100.
1500 = 50/3/64*fv.
fv = 1500*3/50*64.
fv = 5760.
Total fv is investment to price shares.

16% stock at 64.
Means x% dividend on market value.
So 16% means 16 rupees for 100th of share.
Dividend = Annual profit of shares or x% stock of total face values.
Eg:
A person purchased 7200, 8% stock at 90. What is the face value, market value, dividend?
Sol: A person purchased 7200 worth of stock at 8 % dividend.
So 8% dividend means 8 rupees.
Face value of shares=total value of shares.
Fv = 7200.
Total market value = 90% of total face value.
90/100*7200 = 6480.
Dividend on all shares 8% on 7200.
8/100*7200 = 576.
Means x% dividend on market value.
So 16% means 16 rupees for 100th of share.

8/100*7200 = 576.

When left fraction goes to right it reciprocate.
x/y = something.
Then 1 = something*y/x.
