A man income is increased in the ratio 47:40 find the increase percentage?

Answer 1

Since a ratio is another expression of a fraction, we can turn the ratio into a fraction. The left side is the numerator. The right side is the denominator.

47:40 = 47/40

A fraction can be converted into a percentage by dividing the denominator by the numerator, then multiplying the product by 100%.

(47/40) x 100% = 1.175 x 100% = 117.5%
