Question

A man get 15% hike in his salary if his salary is 16100 what is original salary​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

salary =x

increase = x/15

final salary = 16100

salary+ increase= final salary

x + x/15 = 16100

16x/15 = 16100

16x = 16100 * 15

16x = 241500

x = 241500/16

x = 15093.75

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.14,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original salary be 100

Salary after hike = 100+15 = 115

if new salary is Rs.115 then old salary = 100

if new salary is Rs.1 then old salary = $\dfrac{100}{115}$

if new salary is Rs.16,100 then old salary =

$\dfrac{100}{115}$ ×16100

= $\dfrac{1610000}{115}$

=Rs.14,000
