Question

Seema earns ₹800 per week. After 30 days, her weekly income becomes ₹960. What is the percentage increase in her income?

• A. 10%
• B. 15%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Hint:

To find percentage increase, use the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{New} - \text{Old}}{\text{Old}} \right) \times 100 \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Initial weekly income = ₹800
New weekly income = \rupee960 \begin{align*} \text{Increase in income} &= 960 - 800 = ₹160 \\ \text{Percentage increase} &= \left( \frac{160}{800} \right) \times 100 = 20% \end{align*} % Final Answer Therefore, the percentage increase in Seema’s weekly income is 20%.
