Question

Find the resulting quantity when there is $2.5\%$ increase in a salary of $\text{Rs}.62,500$.

Answer 1

Step : Finding the resulting quantity

Given, $2.5\%$ increase in a salary of $\text{Rs}..62,500$.

$2.5\%$ of $\text{Rs}..62500=\frac{2.5}{100}\times 62500$

$=\frac{25}{1000}\times 62500$

$=\frac{25\times 625}{10}$

$=\frac{15625}{10}=\text{Rs}.1562.50$

$\therefore$ final salary $=\text{Rs.}62500+\text{Rs}.1562.50$

$=\text{Rs}.64062.50$

Therefore, the final salary is $\text{Rs}.64062.50$.
