Answer:
Let
Intial salary = x
In increased by = 15%
Salary now Rs 9936
Then
x + 15/100*x = 9936
x + 3/20*x = 9936
20x + 3x/20 = 9936
23x = 198720
X = 8640
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Intial salary = x
In increased by = 15%
Salary now Rs 9936
Then
x + 15/100*x = 9936
x + 3/20*x = 9936
20x + 3x/20 = 9936
23x = 198720
X = 8640
