If a=100 then 20% of a is b = 20.
20% of b =4.
( b% of 20 is the same as 20% of b).
4 out of 100 (4%).

Suppose a=100.
then b=20%a,
b=20/100*100 (a=100),
b=20,

Means if b=20.
20% of 20=20/100*20.
= 4%.

Thank you so much @Kcs.

20% of a=(a/5)=b.

b% of 20 = ((a/5)/100) * 20,
= (a/500) * 20.
= (4/100) * a,
= 4% of a.

20% of a = b,
20/100 of a = b,
0.2 of a =b,
b% of 20.
0.2/100a * 20,
2/10 * 20a,
4%.

20% of a=b.
20 ÷ 100 of a = b.
a = 5b. b = a ÷ 5.

1 ÷ 25 of a = (1 ÷ 25) * 100 of a = 4%.

20% of a = b.
Means,
20/100 * a = b.
0.2a = b.

Means b = 0.2a,
Now b % of 20 = suppose x,
Means b/100*20 = x,
But b = 0.2a,
Meas 0.2a/100 * 20 = x
4a/100 = x.

Means we get that's value x = 4% of a.

Fresh grapes contain 80% water by weight and when the grapes are died, raisins contain 25% by weight.

How many kgs of fresh grapes are needed to get 20kg of raisins?

Please someone explain to solve this.
