Question

What Percent Is $40\mathrm{paisa}$ of $\mathrm{Rs}.2$?

Answer 1

Convert the given quantity into a percentage.

Let us consider that $x\%$ of $\mathrm{Rs}.2$ is equal to $40\mathrm{paisa}$.

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore x\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Rs}.2=40\mathrm{paisa} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x}{100}\times 200=40\left[\because \mathrm{Rs}.1=100\mathrm{paisa}\right] \\ \Rightarrow x=40\times \frac{100}{200} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{40}{2} \\ \Rightarrow x=20 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $20\%$ of $\mathrm{Rs}.2$ is equal to $40\mathrm{paisa}$.
