amit was given an increment of 20 percent on his salary.if his new salary is rs.30600,what was his salary before the increment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the salary before increment = x

increment = 20 % of x 

=> 20 /100 × x 

=> x/5

=> given that if his new salary is  rs. 30600 

=> the new salary is also = x + x/5( the increment in the salary )

=> 6x/5 = 30600

=> 6 x = 30600× 5

=> x = 30600×5/6

x = 25,500 ( ans)
