Answer 1

Answer:

10500-10000= 500

Percentage -

$\frac{500}{10000} \times 100 = \frac{500}{100} = 5\%$

Answer 2

Original number = 10000

Increased/new number = 10500

Increase = 10500 - 10000

Increase = 500

$increase \: percent = \frac{500}{10000} \times 100$

$= \frac{50000}{10000}$

= 5%

Hence there was an increase of 5% in the number.
