The original salary would be ₹15,000.
Let the original salary be ₹x.
Then increase in salary=20x/100
So, new salary=₹18,000
120x/100=18000
x/100=150
x=150X100
x=₹15,000
Let the original salary be ₹x.
Then increase in salary=20x/100
So, new salary=₹18,000
120x/100=18000
x/100=150
x=150X100
x=₹15,000

Heya friend,

Let the original salary be ₹x. Then,
according to question,
x + 20% of x = 18,000
=> x + 20/100 × x = 18,000
=> x + 1/5 × x = 18,000
=> x + x/5 = 18,000
=> 5x+x/5 = 18,000
=> 6x/5 = 18,000
=> x = 18,000×5/6
=> x = 15,000
Hence, the original salary is ₹15,000.
Thanks
