Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.

Weight of Nikhil increased from 60 kg to 66 kg. Then, the increase in weight is _______ %.

Answer 1

Weight of Nikhil increased from 60 kg to 66 kg. Then, the increase in weight is 10 %.

From the question it is given that, Weight of Nikhil increased from 60 kg to 66 kg.

So, weight increase = 66 – 60

= 6 kg

Then, percentage increase = (Weight increase/Initial weight) × 100%

= (6/60) × 100

= 600/60

= 60/6

= 10%
