Question

With an increase of Rs .$2,000,$ vishnu's monthly salary became Rs.$12,000$. what is the percent increase in his salary?

• A. $20\%$
• B. $25\%$
• C. $40\%$
• D. $80\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $20\%$

Previous salary $=12000-2000=Rs.10000$

Let $2000$ is $x$% of $10000$ then

$x=\frac{2000}{10000}\times 100=20\%.$

Hence, this is the required answer.
