Question

A man got increase in the salary by 10%.if his new salary is 154000 find his original salary

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

New = 154000 = 110%

Old = x =100%

X = 154000 * 100 / 110

X = 140000

Answer 2

let the original salary be x

therefore, new salary will be x+10%of x =x+x÷10

but the new salary is 154000

hence, x+x÷10=154000

10x+x÷10=154000

11x÷10=154000

11x=1540000

x=140000
