Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Increase %= 20%

New(Enhanced) salary=15000

Let the original Salary be x

new salary= original salary + increase in salary

15000= x+increase in salary

15000-x=increase in salary

Increase percentage= Increase in salary/Original salary* 100

20=15000-x/x * 100

20x= (15000-x) * 100

20x/100=15000-x

x/5=15000-x

x/5 + x = 15000

x + 5x/5 = 15000

6x/5 = 15000

6x= 15000 * 5

x = 15000 * 5/ 6

x= 75000/6

x= 12500

Therefore, the man's original salary was 12500
