Question

Express the first quantity as a percent of the second :
$40p,Rs.2$

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the first quantity as a percent of the second

Given,
$40p,Rs.2$.
Now, we know that
$Rs.1=100p$
So, $Rs.2=200p$

$\therefore 40p$ as a percent of $Rs.2=40p$ as a percent of $200p$
$=\frac{40}{200}\times 100$

$=\frac{40}{2}=20\%$

Hence,
$40p$ is $20\%$ of $Rs.2$.
