Answer:

Old salary was 1,40,000

Mark as brainlest please

Step-by-step explanation:

let old salary be x

new salary = x+10% of x

154000=x+10*1/100*x

154000=x+1/10x

154000=10x+1x/10

154000=11x/10

x=154000*10/11

x=140000

Hlo mate

Here is ur answer

100% correct answer

Answer: Let us assume the initial salary =100
So, salary after hike =100+10010%=100+10=110

∵ When increased salary is 110, then initial salary is 100

∴ When increased salary is 1, the initial salary is 100110

∴ When increased salary is 154000, the initial salary is 100110×154000=140000

Alternate Method:

The question can be solved by assuming x for initial salary, as follows:

x×110100=154000

Or, x=154000×100110=140000

Hope it must helped u
