Question

ashish got 20% raise in the saiary if his new salary is 156000 find his original salary ​

Answer 1

If his new salary is Rs 1,54,000, find his original salary. Let his original salary in rupees is x. So, Man′s original salary is 140000 rupees.

Answer 2

let actual salary be = x

raise in salary = (20% of x)+x

new salary = 156000

therefore, the equation would be like:

20x/100 + x = 156000

=> 120x/100 = 156000

=> 120x = 15600000

=> x = 1560000/12

=> x = 130000

Hope it helped :)
