Question

Ahmed was given an increment of 10 % on his salary. His new salary is Rs 3575 . What was his salary before increment.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his salary before increment be x

ATQ,

x+10% of x = Rs 3575

=x+10/100 × x = rs 3575

= x+1/10 × x = rs 3575

= x+x/10 = rs 3575

=[10(x)+x]/10 = rs 3575

= (10x+x)/10 = rs 3575

= 11x/10 = rs 3575

= x = 3575×10/11

= x = 325×10

=x = rs 3250

His salary before increment was Rs 3250
