Question

if x is 40% of y , what per cent of x is y?
​

Answer 1

Answer: The required result will be 16% of X

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

40% of x is equal to y

percentage of gain mark=(Total gain marks)/(Total number of marks)*100

Y=(40/100)*X

Y=2X/5

Y% of 40=(Y/100)*40

[(2X/5)/100]*40

(2X/500)*40=(80/500)*X

=(16/100)*X

=16% of X

Therefore we get the solution, The required result will be 16% of X
