Question

Ankita was given an increment of 10% on his salary. Her new salary is Rs3575. What was her salary before increment.

Answer 1

let her salary before increment be x
according to question ,


=> x+10% of x = rs 3575

=> x+10/100 × x = rs 3575

=> x+1/10 × x = rs 3575

=> x+x/10 = rs 3575

=> [10(x)+x]/10 = rs 3575

=> (10x+x)/10 = rs 3575

=> 11x/10 = rs 3575

=> x = 3575×10/11

=> x = 325×10

=> x = rs 3250

her salary before increment was rs 3250



hope this helps
