Answer: $9.375\%$ (or $9\frac{3}{8}\%$ )

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Convert Rupees to Paise

To compare two quantities or express one as a percentage of another, both quantities must have the same unit. We know that $\text{₹} 1$ contains $100$ paise, so $\text{₹} 8$ is equal to $800$ paise.

Step 2: Set up the Percentage Formula

We write the ratio of the given value to the total value as a fraction and multiply by $100$ to express it as a percentage. Here, the given value is $75$ paise and the total is $800$ paise.

Step 3: Simplify the Expression

Cancelling two zeros from the numerator and denominator leaves $\frac{75}{8}\%$ . Dividing $75$ by $8$ gives $9.375\%$ or $9\frac{3}{8}\%$ .
