Question

Jatin got 10% increase in his salary. If his new salary is Rs. 55000, find his previous salary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the previous salary be x

A/Q,

x + 10%of x =55000

x + 10/100*x= 55000

x+ x/10 = 55000

10x + x/10 =55000

11x/10=55000

11x = 55000×10

x =55000×10\11

x= 5000× 10

x = 50000

Ans = So , Jatin's previous salary is Rs . 50000
