  1. Answer:

    Given :-

    A student gets 60 marks out of 80 in his first test and 70 marks out of 80 in his second test.

    To Find :-

    What is the percentage increase in the second test.

    Solution :-

    [tex]\mapsto[/tex] In case of marks get out of 80 in his first test :

    [tex]\implies[/tex] 60 marks

    [tex]\mapsto[/tex] In case of marks get out of 80 in his second test :

    [tex]\implies[/tex] 70 marks

    Now, we have to find the total score percentage in the first and second test :

    [tex]{\small{\bold{\purple{\underline{\bigstar\: In\: case\: of\: first\: test\: :-}}}}}[/tex]

    As we know that :

    [tex]\longmapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Total\: percentage\: scored =\: \dfrac{Total\: marks\: obtained}{Total\: marks} \times 100}}}\\[/tex]

    Given :

    Total marks obtained = 60 marks

    Total marks = 80 marks

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {1}^{{st}}\: test\: =\: \dfrac{60}{8\cancel{0}} \times 10{\cancel{0}}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {1}^{{st}}\: test =\: \dfrac{60}{8} \times 10\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {1}^{{st}}\: test =\: \dfrac{60 \times 10}{8}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {1}^{{st}}\: test =\: \dfrac{\cancel{600}}{\cancel{8}}[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf\bold{\green{Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {1}^{{st}}\: test =\: 75\%}}\\[/tex]

    Hence, the student scored 75% in the first test.

    Again,

    [tex]{\small{\bold{\purple{\underline{\bigstar\: In\: case\: of\: second\: test\: :-}}}}}[/tex]

    Given :

    Total marks obtained = 70 marks

    Total marks = 80 marks

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\leadsto\sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {2}^{{nd}}\: test =\: \dfrac{70}{8\cancel{0}} \times 10{\cancel{0}}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {2}^{{nd}}\: test =\: \dfrac{70}{8} \times 10\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {2}^{{nd}}\: test =\: \dfrac{70 \times 10}{8}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto \sf Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {2}^{{nd}}\: test =\: \dfrac{\cancel{700}}{\cancel{8}}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\leadsto\sf\bold{\green{Total\: Percentage\: scored\: in\: {2}^{{nd}}\: test =\: 87.5\%}}[/tex]

    Hence, the students scored 87.5% in the second test.

    Now, we have to find the increase percentage in the second test :

    So, we can write the formula as :

    [tex]\longmapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Increase\: percentage\: =\: Marks\: scored\: in\: {2}^{{nd}}\: test\: -\: Marks\: scored\: in\: {1}^{{st}}\: test}}}\\[/tex]

    Given :

    Marks scored in second test = 87.5%

    Marks scored in first test = 75%

    According to the question by using the formula we get,

    [tex]\dashrightarrow \sf Increase\: percentage =\: 87.5\% – 75\%\\[/tex]

    [tex]\dashrightarrow \sf Increase\: percentage =\: \dfrac{875}{10}\% – 75\%\\[/tex]

    [tex]\dashrightarrow \sf Increase\: percentage =\: \bigg(\dfrac{875}{10} – 75\bigg)\%\\[/tex]

    [tex]\dashrightarrow\sf Increase\: percentage =\: \bigg(\dfrac{875 – 750}{10}\bigg)\%\\[/tex]

    [tex]\dashrightarrow \sf Increase\: percentage =\: \bigg(\dfrac{125}{10}\bigg)\%\\[/tex]

    [tex]\dashrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{Increase\: percentage =\: 12.5\%}}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\therefore[/tex] The increase percentage that students gets in the second test is 12.5%.
