Question

Fill in the blanks.

$10paise=$______$\%$ of a rupee.

Answer 1

We know that $1Rs=100paise\Rightarrow 1paise=\frac{1}{100}Rs$

$10paise=10\times \frac{1}{100}Rs\Rightarrow 10paise=0.1Rs$

Let us assume that $X\%$ of a rupee is $0.1Rs$

Now convert $X\%$ into fraction by dividing $X$ with $100$ and removing the $\%$ sign.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{X}{100}\times 1=0.1 \\ \Rightarrow X=\frac{0.1\times 100}{1} \\ \Rightarrow X=10 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, $10\%$of a rupee is $10paise$.
