Question

Express :
$80$ paise as a percent of $Rs.4$.

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the given statement as percent

Given,
$80$ paise as a percent of $Rs.4$.
[Multiply first quantity by $100$ and divide by second quantity, at the same time write the sign of percentage]

$\therefore 80$ paise as a percent of $Rs.4=\frac{80}{400}\times 100\%$
$[\because Rs.1=100\text{paise}]$
$=\frac{80}{4}\%=20\%$

Hence, $80$ paise is $20\%$ of $Rs.4$.
