If we take a = 20.
20%20 = 4.
Therefore b = 4.
Now 4%20 = 0.5.
20%a = b then b%20 is not equal to.
Can you please clarify?

The Question -> f 20% of a = b, then b% of 20 is the same as ?
Now since 20/100 * a = b,
b = 1/5*a = 0.2a.
b% of 20 implies 0.2a / 100 * 20 = 0.04a = 4% of a [4/100 * a].
Now since 20/100 * a = b,
b = 1/5*a = 0.2a.
b% of 20 implies 0.2a / 100 * 20 = 0.04a = 4% of a [4/100 * a].

@Habiba simple step :
60-15 : 45.
At present he bought it at 15 So,
It is (45/15)*100: 300.
60-15 : 45.
At present he bought it at 15 So,
It is (45/15)*100: 300.

Lets say A = 100, and B is 20% of A, So B = 20.
Now, what 20% of B.( we need 20% from 20) i.e 4%.

20/100*a = b.
20% of b = ?
20/100*b = 20a/100*20/100.
(Because b = 20a/100, so 20b/100 = 400/1000).
Answer = 4a/100 => 4%.
20% of b = ?
20/100*b = 20a/100*20/100.
(Because b = 20a/100, so 20b/100 = 400/1000).
Answer = 4a/100 => 4%.

20% of a = b.
Let a = 100.
= 20/100*100 = 20.
b = 20.
= 20/100*20 = 4.
4% of a.
Let a = 100.
= 20/100*100 = 20.
b = 20.
= 20/100*20 = 4.
4% of a.

(20/100)*a equals b.
a equals b*100/20.
a equals 5 b.
b equals a/5.
Implies b equals 20 percentage of a.
a equals b*100/20.
a equals 5 b.
b equals a/5.
Implies b equals 20 percentage of a.
