Answer 2

Answer: 140000

Step-by-step explanation:

increase in salary = 10%

new salary = 154000

original salary = x

sol;

     10%of x = 154000 -x

     ⇒ 10/100*x = 154000 - x

     ⇒ 1/10*x = 154000 - x

     ⇒ x = [154000 - x] 10

     ⇒ x = 1540000 -10x

     ⇒ x+10x = 1540000

     ⇒ 11x = 1540000

     ⇒ x = 1540000/11

     ⇒ x = 140000
