What percentage is each of the following?

$325$ paise of Rs $16.25$.

Answer 1

Given: $325$ paise of Rs $16.25$.

We know that

Rs $1$ $=100$ paise

$\Rightarrow ₨16.25$ $=16.25\times 100=1625$paise

We know that for calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by $100$.

$325$ paise of Rs $16.25$ $=325$ paise of $1625$ paise

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{325}{1625}\times 100 \\ =\frac{1}{5}\times 100 \\ =\frac{100}{5} \\ =20\% \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $325$ paise is $20\%$ of Rs $16.25$.
