Answer 1

The correct option is C

$630$

The number which is $5\%$ more than $600$.

Explanation for correct option:

Option (C):$630$

Assume the number be $x$.

The value of $x$ is determined as follows:

$\begin{array}{rcl}x& =& 600+600\left(5\%\right)\\ & \Rightarrow & x=600+600\left(\frac{5}{100}\right)\\ & \Rightarrow & x=600+30\\ & \Rightarrow & x=630\end{array}$

Hence, option C is correct.
