Question

p% of q is equal to r,which percent of r is p​

Answer 1

p% of a number q is r. This means the equation given below.

(p / 100) × q = r

pq / 100 = r → (1)

We have to find what percent of r, p is. For this, let p be the x% of r. We have to find x. So,

(x / 100) × r = p

rx / 100 = p

But from (1),

(pq / 100)x / 100 = p

pqx / 10000 = p

qx / 10000 = 1

x = 10000 / q

I.e., p is nothing but (10000 / q)% of r.
