Question

The number of literate persons in a city increased from 5 lakhs to 8 lakhs in 5 years. What is the percentage of increase? ​

Answer 1

number of people increased = 8 lakhs - 5 lakhs

= 3 lakhs

3 lakh in 5 years

so, number of people increased in 1 years= 300000/5= 60000

so % of increase = (60000*100)/500000 = 12%

SO % Of increase = 12%
