Question:

Anita scored 36 marks out of 120 but later her teacher increased 6 marks for her. What will be the increase in her percentage?

Options:

6%

10%

8%

5%

Correct Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Percentage of Anita when her score was 36 out of 120 = $\frac{36}{120}$ x 100 = 30%

Her percentage when scored increased by 6 marks i.e. her score became 42 = $\frac{42}{120}$ x 100 = 35%

Thus, Increase in her percentage = 5%
