Question

A boy whose salary is 6000 received an increase of 12 1/2% , find his new salary

Answer 1

Answer:

6750

Step-by-step explanation:

10% = 600

1% = 60

1/2% = 30

2% = 120

600 + 120 = 720

720 + 30 = 750

12 1/2% = 750

6000 + 750 = 6750

Answer 2

$Old\:salary = ₹6000$

$Increase\:in\: salary\:=\: 12\:\frac{1}{2} \: \: percent$

$12 \times \frac{1}{2 } \: \: = \: 6 \: \: percent$

$\cancel{ \frac {6}{100} \times 6000}$

$After\: solving\:we\:get$

$₹360$

$\therefore \: The \: rise \: in \: salary \: is \: ₹ \: 360 \: so \: 6000 + 360 = ₹6360$

$\therefore \:T he \: new \: salary \: is \: ₹ \: 6360$
