Question

What would be the value of 20% of m as percentage of p if 8% of m is 4% of p

Answer 1

Answer:

If 8% of m is 4% of p then 20% of m is equal to 10% of p.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it is given that 8% of m is 4% of p, we can write it as the following:

$\frac{8}{100} m=\frac{4}{100} p$

which implies, $m=\frac{4}{8} p=\frac{p}{2}$

we need to find out what 20% of m is in percentage of p,

$\frac{20}{100} m$ can be written in terms of p as:$\frac{20}{100} \frac{p}{2}$

This further yields:$\frac{10}{100} p$

From the expression above we can say that 20% of m is 10% of p.
