Question

a man salary was raised by 10% and the reduced by the 10% find the percentage salary.

Answer 1

Let the man's original salary be x

Find the salary after increased:

increase = 10% of x = 0.1x

Salary after increased = 1 + 0.1x = 1.1x

Find the salary after it was reduced by 10%:

reduced = 10% of 1.1x = 0.11x

salary after reduced =1.1x - 0.11x = 0.99x

Find the percentage changed:

Salary reduced = x - 0.99x = 0.1x

Salary percentage reduced = 0.1x/x x 100 = 1%

Answer: His salary was reduced by 1% overall.
