Ramu works in shop for Rs. 125 per hour. If his pay is increased to Rs. 145 per hour, find his percentage increase in pay.

Correct option is C

Given:

Ramu’s initial pay = ₹125 per hour

Ramu’s increased pay = ₹145 per hour

Formula Used:

Increased Percent $$= \frac{Increase\ in\ Value}{Original\ Value} \times 100$$​​

Solution:

Increase in pay = 145 -125 = ₹20

Percentage increase =$$\frac{20}{125} \times 100$$​ = 16%
