2)A box of paper clips contains 100 clips. If an office uses paper clips at the rate of 15 per 100 pieces of outgoing mail, how many boxes will be required for the 4000 pieces of outgoing mail?

• 15clips --- 100 pieces
  x clips --- 4000 pieces
  
  x = 4000/100 * 15 = 600 clips
  
  1 box -- 100 clips
  y box -- 600 clips
  
  y = 600/100 = 6 boxes
  
  Ans : 6 boxes

• 100 pieces 15clips.
  4000 pieces 600 clips
  each box contains 100.
  so total boxes required are 600/100=6.

• 15 : x ::100 : 4000
  (15*4000)=(x*100)
  so ans of x=6 ;

• 
  1box:85outgoing::x box:4000 outgoing
  
  x=(4000*1)/85
  x=47.0588...
  x=~48

• rate of using clips = 15/100
  we need clips for 4000 clips
  i,e. 15/100*4000=600
  now each box has 100 clips
  we need to find no. of boxes
  so for 600 pins we can say that ans is = 6 boxes

• 100 mails--------------15 clips
  4000 mails-------------4000/100*15=600 clips
  600/100(per box contains 100 clips)=6 boxes
