@habiha
here is the answer
% increase = (actual increase/original price *100)%
% decrease = (actual decrease/ original price *100)%
so, for this question we have to calculate % increase (since the pen was sold at higher rate 45, which was actually bought for 15 Rs)
(60-15/15 *100)% = 300%.

(20% of a)/100 = (20% of a) * (1/100).

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

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

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