If 20% of a = b, then b% of 20 is the same as:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
20% of a = b  |
20 | a = b. |
| 100 |
 b% of 20 = |
 |
b | x 20 |  |
= | |
20 | a x | 1 | x 20 | |
= | 4 | a = 4% of a. |
| 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |

A = 100,
B = 20.
20% of B = 2 * 2 = 4.
B = 20.
20% of B = 2 * 2 = 4.

Let's say a = 100.
0.2 * 100 = 20 which is B,
So,
0.2 * 20 = 4 which is equal to 0.04 * 100= 4.
0.2 * 100 = 20 which is B,
So,
0.2 * 20 = 4 which is equal to 0.04 * 100= 4.

Hi,
20/100a * 1/100 * 20 ,
400a/10,000,
4/100a%.
Now,
4/100 *100 = 4%.
20/100a * 1/100 * 20 ,
400a/10,000,
4/100a%.
Now,
4/100 *100 = 4%.

If 20% of a=b means B =(20/100)*a ----> eq(1)
And b%of 20 means (b/100)*20 ----> eq(2).
If we put eq(1) value in eq(2) Then,
[{(20/100)*a}/100]*100
If we simply fy it = {100/(100*20*a)}*20,
=> 1/(20*a)*20.
=> 1/a So ans is incorrect.
If we modify qn and put 20% of b then
(20/100)*b.
We put b value i.e b = (20/100)*a,
Then => (20/100)*(20/100)*a,
If we simply fy it , then,
(20*20/100*100)*a.
And answer will be (4/100)*a.
Means 4% of a.
And b%of 20 means (b/100)*20 ----> eq(2).
If we put eq(1) value in eq(2) Then,
[{(20/100)*a}/100]*100
If we simply fy it = {100/(100*20*a)}*20,
=> 1/(20*a)*20.
=> 1/a So ans is incorrect.
If we modify qn and put 20% of b then
(20/100)*b.
We put b value i.e b = (20/100)*a,
Then => (20/100)*(20/100)*a,
If we simply fy it , then,
(20*20/100*100)*a.
And answer will be (4/100)*a.
Means 4% of a.

(5/3)X - P% of (5/3)X = (3/5)X.
After solving this equation for the value of P, we will be getting the percentage error.

As percent always calculates at 100 ref. Let a= 100.
20% of a means - 20 which is b acc to question.
20 percent of again 20 (got above) is 4 percent of a.
This doesn't require any paper calculations I believe, Hope it helps.

@All.
20% of a = b so in question they are given the b value.
Then b% of 20 do now,
Instead of b %, put the value of b,
20/100 of a*20 then cancel it properly. You will get the value of 4% of a.
That will be our required answer.

How (1/100)*20 comes?

But here we considered a as 100, but if we consider a as 10, the answer will be different, which is 20% of a; then it should not be considered as universal.

Here, 20% of a=b i.e.,(20/100)a=b
then, b%20 i.e.,(b/100)*20---I
then sub b=(20/100)a in I
we get,
=(20/100)a * (1/100) * 20
=(20/100)a * (20/100)
=(400/10000)a
=(4/100)a
= 4% of a
then, b%20 i.e.,(b/100)*20---I
then sub b=(20/100)a in I
we get,
=(20/100)a * (1/100) * 20
=(20/100)a * (20/100)
=(400/10000)a
=(4/100)a
= 4% of a
