Q2. A salary increases from ₹40,000 to ₹46,000. Find the percentage increase.

Solution:
Increase in salary = ₹46,000 − ₹40,000
= ₹6,000

Percentage increase = (Increase ÷ Original Salary) × 100
= (₹6,000 ÷ ₹40,000) × 100
= 15%
Answer: 15%

Q3. The price of a product increases by 20% and then decreases by 20%. What is the net percentage change?

Solution:
Net percentage change = x + y + (xy ÷ 100)
Here, x = 20 and y = −20

Net change = 20 − 20 + [(20 × −20) ÷ 100]
= 0 − 4
= −4%
Answer: 4% decrease

Q4. A candidate scores 360 marks and fails by 40 marks. If the passing percentage is 50%, find the maximum marks.

Solution:
Passing marks = Marks scored + Marks required to pass
= 360 + 40

50% of maximum marks = 400
Maximum marks = (400 × 100) ÷ 50
= 800 marks
Answer: 800 marks
