What percentage of recessive genes occur in heterozygotes

let A and a represent dominant and recessive alleles whos respective frequencies are p and q in a given interbreeding population at equilibrium (with p+q=1). A) if 16 percent of the individuals in the population have recessive phenotypes, what percentage of the total number of recessive genes exist in the heterozygous condition? B) if 1.0 percent of the individuals were homozygous recessive, what percentage of the recessive genes would occur in heterozygotes?
