How can we calculate this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is increase in salary of 5% from the last month this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jameela's salary was 20000 rupees last month.

Jameela's salary is 21000 rupees this month.

Increase in salary = salary last month - salary this month

                              =$21000-20000=1000$

Percentage salary increased is based on last month salary.

Percentage increase in salary =$\frac{Salary\hspace{2mm} increased}{Salary \hspace{2mm} last \hspace{2mm} month} \cdot 100$

                                                    =$\frac{1000}{20000}\cdot 100\\ \\ =\frac{100000}{20000} =5$

Percentage increase in salary is 5%.
