Question

a man got 10% increase in his salary if his new salary is 15400 find the original salary

Answer 1

Let the original salary be Rs a

According to question

a + 10 % of a = 15400

=> a + 10a/100 = 15400

=> a + a/10 = 15400

=> 11a/10 = 15400

=> a = 154000 / 11

=> a = 14000

Original salary = Rs 14000

Answer 2

LET THE ORIGINAL SALARY BE ₹x,

by the problem,

x + 10% of x = 15400

or, x + x/10 = 15400

or, 11x/10 = 15400

or, 11x = 15400×10

or, x = 15400 × 10 / 11

or, x = ₹14,000

THEREFORE THE ORIGINAL SALARY IS ₹ 14,000 .
