Welcome to Android Central!
100%-23%=77%.
Screen 16% is 16÷100×77. 16 percent out of 77.
Not 16% total battery.
Best regards,Mikey. For any more questions,PM me. I hope you found what you were looking for.

Percentage is out of something.
Like
10 percent OUT OF 100.
20 percent OUT OF 50.
Another example : 10 percent out of 3 = 10÷100×3= 0.1×3= 0.3.

Screen 11% on this one represents 10.3% of the battery consumed by the screen. On Nougat, the percentage is percent of your battery, not percentage of your consumed battery life. I think that it's the same on Marshmallow for Nexus phones. All of my percentages add up to about 50% but I'm at 41% charge remaining, so there is 9% unaccounted for. Yours has more unaccounted for than that. Has your phone done a reboot since it came off the charger? Can you get a screenshot of your battery stats screens?

Usually there is a discrepancy if you add up all the the individual percentages. The stock stats don't show apps with less than 1℅. I agree that your difference is quite big, but maybe just because it's a brand new phone and there are lots of things going on in the background until the system and all your apps kind of settle down. I wouldn't worry for now and check again after a couple full charges.

If you want more details of battery usage you could try Gsam Battery Monitor.

Different phones report battery stats in different ways. Some show percentages as absolute values, others as relative to the battery used so far. I'm inclined to agree with Aquila that yours are absolute values, but there's an easy way to be sure.

Tap on one of the processes, screen for example, and see what's listed under 'computed power used' (xxxmAh). This is an absolute value, so make the calculations with the total battery size (2700 mAh) and compare with the percentage in the main battery screen.

Ok, that chart makes more sense. So your chart starts around 80%, your visible percents add up to around 28%, 15% left on the battery = 43%, so there's around 37% unaccounted for - which is still weird, but quite a bit less alarming than almost 60% being missing. Nothing on the chart looks terribly alarming. If you tap on the chart it takes you to another one that will show you when the device was awake, what kind of networks it was connected to and signal strength. Didn't realize you were Swedish, jag pratar lite svenska.

Some of the difference could be accounted for by low signal strength, such as WiFi or BlueTooth. Looks like you don't have a SIM in there. It doesn't look like anything is necessarily wrong, but it depends on how much you actually used it during that period.
