A man’s monthly salary increased from ₹42,000 to ₹57,000. What is the percentage (rounded off to 1 decimal place) increase in his monthly salary?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 35.7%.
% Increase = [57000 − 42000) ÷ 42000] × 100

⇒ 150 ÷ 42
⇒ 35.7%
