Question

Amit was given an increment of 20% on his salary. If his new salary is Rs. 15300, what was his salary before increment?

Answer 1

Let the original salary be X.

After the increment, the salary will be 1.2X

Therefore 1.2X = Rs. 15300
Hence X = Rs. 12750

So, the salary before the increment was Rs. 12750.

Answer 2

let the salary be x
therefore according to given condition

x+20%×x=15300
120x/100=15300
x=15300×100/120
x=1530000/120
x=12750
ok the salary before incriment would be rupees 12750
