Solution

The correct representation of Paul's monthly pocket money in Rupees, given that it is 22% more than John's pocket money of Rs 500, would be 500 × 122/100.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Find the percentage increase of Paul's pocket money compared to John's. This is given as 22%.

  2. To find the total amount of Paul's pocket money, you need to add this percentage increase to the original 100% (which represents John's pocket money). This gives you 122%.

  3. Multiply John's pocket money (Rs 500) by this total percentage (122%).

  4. Since the percentage is divided by 100 in the calculation (to convert it from a percentage to a decimal), the calculation becomes 500 × 122/100.

So, Paul's monthly pocket money is represented by 500 × 122/100.
