The fees of a student increases from Rs.1000 per month to Rs. 1200 per month. Find the percentage increase.


Given :

The fees of a student increases from Rs.1000 per month to Rs. 1200 per month. 

To find :

We have to find the percentage increase.

Solution :

Initial fees of the student = Rs. 1000 per month.

Final fees of the student = Rs. 1200 per month.

Increase in the fees = Rs. $(1200-1000)$ = Rs. 200.

Percentage increase = $\frac{Increase in fee}{Initial fee}\times 100$%

                                      = $\frac{200}{1000}\times 100$%

                                      = $\frac{200}{10}$%                                       =20%. 

The percentage increase is 20%.
