Agree @Sid.
Why was b replaced with 1?

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

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 ÷ 100 of a = b.
a = 5b. b = a ÷ 5.
1 ÷ 25 of a = (1 ÷ 25) * 100 of a = 4%.

Why we put b as 1?

If you consider a=50, then the answer will not be 4%, there is no clue in the question that one should take a=100. When I assigned a=100 I got the answer as 4%, then when I assigned different value for a, the % varies.

20% of a = b --> Assume a as 100.
So, 20% of 100 = 20 By this we can say b=20.
Now, b% of 20 b=20% of 20=4 which is the answer.
So, 20% of 100 = 20 By this we can say b=20.
Now, b% of 20 b=20% of 20=4 which is the answer.

Let a =100 Now 20% of a i.e. 100 * 20/100 = 20 Rs.
Means 100 Rs of a = 20 Rs of b.
It means 1 Rs of a = 20/100 of b i.e 1/5 Rs.
Now, 20% of 1/5 = 20 * 1/5 = 4 Rs.
Means 100 Rs of a = 20 Rs of b.
It means 1 Rs of a = 20/100 of b i.e 1/5 Rs.
Now, 20% of 1/5 = 20 * 1/5 = 4 Rs.
