1. What percent of  
(i) 24 is 6? 
(ii) Rs 125 is Rs 10? 
(iii) 4km is 160 meters? 
(iv) Rs 8 is 25 paise? 
(v) 2 days is 8 hours? 
(vi) 1 liter is 175ml? 
 
Solution: 
(i) According to the question required percentage = (6/24) × 100 
= (100/4) 
= 25% 
 
(ii) According to the question required percentage = (10/125) × 100 
= (1000/125) 
= 8% 
 
(iii) According to the question required percentage = (160/4) × 100 
We know that 1km = 1000 meters 
Therefore 4km = 4000 meters  
= (160/4000) × 100 
= 4% 
 
(iv) According to the question required percentage = (25/8) × 100 
We know that 1Rs = 100 paise 
Therefore 8Rs = 800 paise 
= (25/800) × 100 
= (25/8) 
= 3.125% 
 
(v) We know that 1day = 24 hours 
1 hour = (1/24) day  
8 hours = (8/24) day = (1/3) day 
According to the question required percentage = [(1/3)/2] × 100
