Answer 1

In a scout camp, 40% of the scouts were from Gujarat State and 20% of these were from Ahmedabad. The percentage of scouts in the camp from Ahmedabad is 8.

Explanation:

Let the scouts in scout camp = 100

Then, scouts from Gujarat = 40% of 100

= `40/100 xx 100`

= 40

And scouts from Ahmedabad = 20% of 40

= `20/100 xx 40`

= 8

∴ Percentage of scouts from Ahmedabad

= `"Scouts from Ahmedabad"/"Total scouts" xx 100%`

= `8/100 xx 100%`

= 8%
