Answer 2

To find the percentage from the given amount of rupees and paise first convert the given rupees into paise by using the conversion 1 rupee = 100 paise and then multiply n/100 into the total paise obtained in the conversion and equal to the paise for what we have to find the percentage then solve the steps.

Given:

2 rupees 70 paise

Solution:

$1 \ rupee = 100 \ paise$

$2 \ rupee \ 70 \ paise = 200+70 = 270 \ paise$

$n\% \ of \ 270 \ paise=15 \ paise$

$\frac { n }{ 100\times 270 } =15$

$n=\frac { (15\times 10) }{ 27 }$

$n=\frac { 150 }{ 27 }$

$n=5.56\%$
