Answer 1

Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let salary = 100

10%=110

same was reduced by 5%= 110*5/100=5.5

now , 110-5.5=104.5

so,

104.5=1045 (multiple of 10)

100=1000 (multiple of 10)

1000 answer

or

let the orgi salary be X

X * (110/100) * (95/100) = 1045

X * (11/10) * (1/100) = 11

X = 1000
