Question

David is considering changing his car to one which used liquefied

petroleum gas (LPG). A litre of LPG costs £0.62 and a litre of petrol
costs £1.29. What is the cost of a litre of LPG as a percentage of the
cost of a litre of petrol (give your answer to the nearest whole number)?​

Answer 1

48%

Explanation:

A liter of LPG costs £0.62

A liter of petrol costs £1.29.

Therefore,

The cost of a liter of LPG as a percentage of the cost of a liter of petrol is calculated as:

Cost of LPG/ Cost of Petrol × 100

= £0.62/£1.29 × 100

= 48.062015504%

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 48%
