Cost of a toffee is $50$ paise and cost of a chocolate is $Rs.10$ . Find the ratio of the cost of a toffee to the cost of a chocolate.

Answer 1

Cost of a toffee$=50p$

and, cost of a chocolate$=Rs.10=1000p$

Ratio of their costs$=50:1000$

$=\frac{50}{1000}$

$=\frac{1}{20}$

$=1:20$

Hence, the required ratio is $1:20$ .
