Question

What percent is 200 cm of 1 meter?

Answer 1

- Hint: In this question it is given that we have to find the percentage of 200 cm with respect to 1 meter. So to find the solution we need to know that meter(m) can be expressed as in terms of centimetres(cm), i.e, 1 m = 100 cm, after converting each quantity into the same unit, we can easily find the percentage.

Complete step-by-step solution -
As we know that 1meter=100cm
Then the percentage of 200 cm w.r.t 1 m is,
$${\displaystyle \frac{200}{100}}\times 100\mathrm{\%}$$
$$=2\times 100\mathrm{\%}$$
$$=200\mathrm{\%}$$
Therefore the required solution is 200 %.

Note: To solve this type of question you need to know that if you want to calculate the percentage of y with respect to any value x then you have to divide the y by x and also you have to multiply the result by 100%, this value will give you the percentage of y w.r.t x.
i.e, Percentage of y w.r.t x = $${\displaystyle \frac{y}{x}}\times 100\mathrm{\%}$$
