Question

A bag hold 10kg of sugar .the size of the bag is increased such that now it holds 14kg of sugar . What is the percentage increase in the size?

Answer 1

Answer:

1st capacity say 100 % can have 10 kg

given  second capacity can have 14 kg

i.e. 100*14 = x *10

x= 140

i.e. 40 % increase in size

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

10 kg of sugar = 100%
1 kg of sugar = (100/10) %
14 kg of sugar = {(100/10) * 14} % = { 10 * 14 } % = 140 %
In this, firstly 100 % and then 140 %. So it increased (140 - 100) % = 40%
