Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: Let's assume is previous salary was A.

Therefore,

A + 20%(A) = 15300

A + 0.2A = 15300

1.2A = 15300

(Go ahead and divide both sides by 1.2 to make A the subject)

A = 15300/1.2

A = 12750

Therefore his salary before the increment was ₹12750

Answer 2

Answer:

% of increment given to Amit on his salary= 20%

Amit's new salary= Rs30600

Increment= 20% of Rs30600

                = 20/100 * 30600

                = Rs6120

Amit's salary before the increment= Rs30600 - Rs6120

                                                         = Rs24480 Ans
