Question

Amit was given an increment of 20% on his salary .if his new salary is ₹15300. What was his salary before increment?

Answer 1

let salary before increment= Rs x
Increment=20%
After increment=Rs15300
therefore,. 20%of x= 15300-x
20/100*x=15300-x
1/5*x=15300-x
x=76500-5x
6x=76500
x=76500/6
x=12750
therefore, salary before increment=Rs12750
