Question

a man got a 10% increase in his salary. If his new salary is Rs154000 find his original salary​

Answer 1

Let the salary before the increment be Rs.100. Then,

Increase in salary =Rs.10

∴ Increased salary =Rs.(100+10)=Rs.110

If increased salary is Rs. 110, original salary =Rs.100

If increased salary is Rs. 154000, original salary =Rs.(

110

100

×154000)=Rs.140000

Hence, the salary of the man before increment was Rs.140000.
