138600

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Let the original salary be x

As given the new salary is ₹1,54,000

(Original salary+ Increment= New salary)

Increment given= 10% of the original salary

$x + (10 \div 100) \times x = 154000$

$x + x \div 10 = 154000$

$11x \div 10 = 154000$

$x = 154000 \times 10 \div 11$

$x = 140000$

$So \: the \: original \: salary \: was = rs \: 140000$

Let :

Original salary = x

Given :

Increase in salary = 10% of original

New salary = ₹1,54,000

To find :

Original salary

Solution :

We know that new salary = original salary + increase in salary

Therefore,

New salary = x + (10/100)x

154000 = x + 10/100 x

154000 = [ (x×100) + (10x×1) ] ÷ 100

154000 = [ 100x + 10x ] ÷ 100

154000 × 100 = 110x

X = 15400000 ÷ 110

X = 140000

ANSWER :

Original salary = 140000
