Answer 2

As per the Question,

$15 \: paise = 15\% \: of \: rupee$

We have to find out the, 15% of how much rupees is 15 paisa.

Let, 15% of x rupees is 15 paisa.

So, we can write it as

$\frac{15}{100} \times x \: rs = 15 \: paisa$

Firstly we have to convert paisa into Rupees.

To convert paisa into rupees divide it by 100.

So, 15 paisa =

$\frac{15}{100} = 0.15 \: rs$

Expression Becomes,

$\frac{15}{100} \times x \: rs = 0.15 \: rs$

$x = 0.15 \times \frac{100}{15}$

Divide 0.15 by 15 we get

$x = 0.1 \times 100$

$x = 10.0$

Hence,

15% of 10 rupees is 15 paisa.
