Question

a man got a 10% increase in his salary . If his new salary is rs 1,54,000. Find his original salary

Answer 1

Let his original salary be x.

Given that he got 10% increase in his salary, His new salary is 154000

x + 10% of x= 154000

x + 10x/100 = 154000

11x/10 = 154000

11x = 154000 * 10

11x = 1540000

x = 1540000/11

x = 140000.

Therefore his original salary = 140000.


Hope this helps!
