Question

Anmol's salary after an increase of 12% is 44,800.What was his salary before the increase ?

Answer 1

Let the salary before increase be x.
Price after an increase of 12℅ is
Rs. 44,800.
=> x+12% of x= 44800
=> x+12x/100=44800
=> 112x/100=44800
=> x= (44800 × 100)/112
=> x= 400×100= 40000
.: Salary before increase is Rs.40,000.

Answer 2

salary after 12% increase 44,800
since :. { (increase salary - original salary)÷original salary }×100 = %

{ (44,800- original salary)÷(original salary)}×100 = 12
44,800 - original salary = 0.12 original salary
44,800 = 1.12 original salary
original salary = 44,800÷1.12
original salary = 40,000 rs
