Question

A student got 60 marks in first test and 75 marks in last test. What is the percentage increase in his marks?

Answer 1

First test = 60 marks

Last test = 75 marks

Find the increase in marks:

Increase = 75 - 60 = 15

Find the percentage increase:

Percentage increase = 15/60 x 100 = 25%

Answer: There is a 25% increase.

Answer 2

marks of first test = 60 marks

marks of second test = 75 marks

increase in marks = 75 - 60 = 15 Marks

Find percentage increase :
____________________
% increase

= increase × 100 / first test marks

= 15 × 100 /60

= 25 %

therefore,

percentage increase in his marks=25 %.

Answer : increase = 25%
