Question

A man got a 10% increase in his salary. If his new salary is rupees1,54,000, find his original salary. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let original salary be ₹x

so, increase in salary=10℅of x

=₹10/100x=₹x/10

new salary=₹x+₹x/10=₹11/10

₹11/10x=₹154000

or, x=154000×10/11

=1,40,000

thus original salary= ₹1,40,000
