Question

Ashish got a 20% raise is in salary if his new salary is 156000 find his original salary​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 :)

Answer 2

Given,

Increase percentage = 20%

New salary= Rs. 156000

To find,

His original salary amount.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Let, his original salary = Rs. x

Increase amount = x × 20/100 = Rs. x/5

Current salary = x + x/5 = Rs. 6x/5

According to the data mentioned in the question,

6x/5 = 156000

x = 156000 × 5/6

x = 130000

(This is his original salary amount.)

Hence, his original salary is Rs. 130000
