Question

20. The salary of an officer is increased by 20%. By what percentage should the new salary be
reduced to restore the original salary?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step Let consider an amt =100

A/Q

100+100 of 20% = 100 + 20

120 of x% = 100

6x / 5 =100

x = 83.33

Reduced % = 100 - 83.33

= 16.67%
