Why is the paragraph text set to 150% is equivalent to 24px? If a tag is nested inside a tag, and the div is set to 50px, then wouldn't the paragraph text me 150% of 50px?

Hello Zubair Malek, The tag is not always the parent element. Using the same example of a tag inside of tags. The tag would be the parent element to the tag.
