Question

A man got a 10% increase in his salary . If his new salary is 154000, find his original salary

Answer 1

Answer:

The original salary of the man was 1,40,000 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial salary of the man be x.

Then, increase of salary will be 10 % * x

=> 10/100 * x

=> x/10

The new salary of the person = x + x/10

=> 10x/10 + x/10 {Taking LCM of both the denominators}

=> 11x/10

=> 11x/10 = 154000

=> 11x= 154000 * 10

=> 11x = 1540000

=> x = 1540000/11

∴ x = 1,40,000

Therefore, the original salary of the man was 1,40,000 Rupees
