Solution
Weight of Nikhil increased from 60 kg to 66 kg. Then, the increase in weight is 10 %.
Explanation:
We have, initial weight of Nikhil = 60 kg
After increase in weight, weight became = 66 kg
Increase in weight = 66 – 60 = 6 kg
∴ Increase percentage of weight
= `"Increase"/"Initial weight" xx 100%`
= `6/60 xx 100%`
= `60/6%`
= 10%
So, the number of students present on that day was 46.
