In this question, there are two parts, First is the original quantity and second part is the % increase in the quantity. The final quantity will be the sum of original quantity and % increase quantity
Let us assume the original salary is y, then
y + 10% of y = New salary= 154000
y+ 10y/100=154000
11y/10=154000
y=1540000/11= Rs 140000
Let us assume the original salary is y, then
y + 10% of y = New salary= 154000
y+ 10y/100=154000
11y/10=154000
y=1540000/11= Rs 140000

please check the question it is 8% and salary is 151200
Oh! I am sorry... I thought different
no its alright...
Let us assume that Moran’s salary before the raise was x
Then they gave him a 8% raise on his salary of x
Then his current salary = original salary + the raise
151200 = x + 0.08x
151200 = 1.08x
==> x = 151200 / 1.08
= 140000
I think this time I am right....
