40% of P = 25% of Q

Step 1 : Rewrite as fraction

40/100 of P = 25/100 of Q

2/5 of P = 1/4 of Q

Step 2 : Make the numerator the same
(Equal concept)

2/5 of P = 2/8 of Q

From the denominator, we can say that P is 5 units and Q is 8 units

Fraction of P that is Q

= 8/5

Percentage of P that is Q

= 8/5 x 100%

= 8 x 20%

(after cancelling common factor of 5)

= 160%

Alternative method :

40% of P = 25% of Q

Multiply both sides by 4,

160% of P = 100% of Q


Q/P = 160/100 = 160%
