Answer 2

Answer :

Let ruppes of previous salary = x

Percentage increase = 12%

Therefore,

Increase salary =

$x \times \frac{12}{100}$

So Increase salary =

$\frac{3x}{25}$

Therefore, Total New salary

=>

$x + \frac{3x}{25}$

=>

$\frac{25x +3x } {25}$

=>

$\frac{28x}{25}$

Now According to question

=>

$\frac{28x}{25} = 25760$

$x \: = \: \frac{25760 \times 25}{28}$

x = 23000 Answer

Therefore previous salary = 23000 ruppes
