Question

After getting an 8% increase in the salary, Mohan new salary is151200. What was his original salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

140000

Step-by-step explanation:

let Mohan's original salary be denoted by $x$

After getting an 8% salary raise, the new salary expressed in terms of original salary is

$\frac{(100+8)}{100}*x=1.08x$

Equating this to the actual amount we get;

$1.08x=151200\\\frac{1.08x}{1.08}=\frac{151200}{1.08} \\x=140000$

Therefore Mohan's original salary is 140000
