Answer:
Rs. 93.6
Step-by-step explanation:
first, find the 8% increase of his wage and then add it it to his original wage.
now, let x be the increase in his wage.
so, 8/100*85=x
= 2/5*17=x.....(simplify)
= 2/5=x/17
= 5x=34........(cross multiply)
= x=34/5
= x= 6.8
new wage= old wage + increase
= 85 + 8.6
= 93.6 Rs.
ALL THE BEST!!!
