Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 4000 is her salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her salary be Rs. P.

Then, 10% of P = 400.

• 10/100× P = 400
• P/10 = 400
• P = 400 × 100
• P = 4000

Hence, her salary is Rs. 4000

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the salary of Meeta.

          Given data:- $Rs.\ 400.$

         To find:- Meeta's salary.  

         Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.

• It is denoted by $\% .1 \%$  means $\frac{1}{100}.$

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

• Percentages are reversible. For example, $40 \% \text { of } 30$   is the same as $30 \% \text { of } 40.$

       So that,

       Meeta's salary be $x.$

      Now $10\%$ of salary $= 400.$

         $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{10}{100} \times x=400 \\\Rightarrow x=\frac{400 \times 100}{10} \\\Rightarrow x=4000.\end{array}$

  Hence Meeta's salary will be $Rs.4000.$
