Question

Amit was given an 20% on his salary . if his new salary is 15300 what was his salary before the increment

Answer 1

Answer:

Let his initial salary before raise be x

then, initial salary + (20% of initial salary) = 15300

x + [(20/100)*x] = 15300

x + 0.2x = 15300

(1.2)x =15300

x = (15300/0.2)

x =12750Rs

Initial salary was 12750 Rs
