Question

A Man got 20% increase in his salary. If his enhanced salary is Rs.15000,then his original salary​

Answer 1

Answer:

65000

is his original salary

Answer 2

Given,

increase percentage = 20%

New salary = Rs 15,000

let the original salary be x

Now,

New salary = Original salary + increase salary

15,000 = X + increase in salary

15,000 - x = increase in salary

increase in salary = 15,000 - x

Now,

percentage increase = increase / origina salary*100

20 = 15,000 - x /x * 100

20x = (15,000 - x) * 100

20x/100 = 15,000 - x

x/20 = 15000

x/20 + x = 15,000

x( 1/20 + 1 ) = 15,000

x( 1 + 20/20 ) = 15,000

x( 21/20 ) = 15,000

X = 15,000 * 20 / 21

= 14,285•7143

hope it helps.
