Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original salary be x  

Increase in salary 10% of x

=$Rs\frac{10}{100}x = Rs\frac{x}{100}$

Newsalary=$Rsx+Rs\frac{x}{10} =Rs\frac{11}{10}x$

=$Rs\frac{11}{10}x=Rs. 154000$

$x=Rs\frac{154000*10}{11}= Rs 140000$

∴ Rs. 140000

Answer 2

Answer:

Original salary of a man was Rs. $1,40,000$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Increment in salary = $10$%

          New salary = Rs. $1,54,000$

To find : Original salary of a man =?

Solution :

• It is given that a man got a 10% increase in his salary.
• His new salary = Rs. $1,54,000$
• We have to find his original salary.
• Let, $x$ be his original salary.

• According to given condition, we get

      $10$% of $x+x = 154000$

       ∴ $\frac{10}{100} *x+x=154000$

          ∴ $\frac{10x+100x}{100} =154000$

                ∴ $\frac{110x}{100} =154000$

               ∴ $110x = 154000*100$

                    ∴ $x=\frac{15400000}{110}$

                    ∴ $x= 140000$

• ∴ Original salary of a man was Rs. $1,40,000$.
