Proteins, 16% in 100% = 0.16%.
Skin 1/10*100= 10%.
Proteins in skin= 0.16% * 10% =1.6%.
Skin 1/10*100= 10%.
Proteins in skin= 0.16% * 10% =1.6%.

Put most simply: 1/10 = 0.1.
16% of 0.1 = (0.1 * 0.16) = 0.016.
As a percentage: 0.016 * 100 = 1.6%.
16% of 0.1 = (0.1 * 0.16) = 0.016.
As a percentage: 0.016 * 100 = 1.6%.
