Question

tapan's weight increased by 20% from 60 kg. His weight increased by ?

Answer 1

Here, we are given that Tapan's weight got increased by 20%

His initial weight was 60 kg

We have to find his increased weight

First, we will calculate 20% of 60

Increase in weight = 20% of 60

                               = 20/100 × 60

                               = 12

Therefore, increased weight = initial weight + increase in weight

                                                = 60 + 12

                                                = 72 kg

Hence, Tapan's increased weight will be 72 kg

Answer 2

Given: Tapan's weight is $60$kg and his weight increased by $20$%.

We have to find his increased weight.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

Tapan's weight is $60$kg and his weight increased by $20$%.

The Tapan's increased weight will be:

=> Initial weight +  $20$% increased weight

$=>60+60\times\frac{20}{100} \\\\=>60+12\\=>72$

Hence, his increased weight will be $72$kg.
