Amit was given an increment of 20%on his salary.if his new salary is 30600,what was hois salary before the increment

Answer 1

Ley the salary before the increment be x
$x \times \frac{(100 + 20)}{100} = 30600 \\ x \times \frac{120}{100} = 30600 \\ x \times 1.2 = 30600 \\ x = \frac{30600}{1.2} = 25500$
Therefore salary before the increment was 25500
