Question

Ms. Sonia and her friends got a raise of 15% in their salaries. Find the total amount after the raise if their present salary is Rs 15.000 each. Calculate the salary by using the formula​

Answer 1

Answer:

= Rs. 16,500 only.

Explanation:

Present salary of Priya = Rs. 15,000

Percentage of increase in salaries of Priya and her friends = 10 % of the overall amount, as per the problem.

Hence, on Percentage calculation we get:

 

= 15/100 of Rs. 15,000

= 15/100 X Rs. 15,000

= Rs 1500. (Amount increased in salary).

So, the final salary would be:

earlier salary added to increased amount

i.e. Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 1500

Answer 2

Answer:

2250

Explanation:

=15000 + (15% × 15000)

=15000+15%× 15000

=(1+15)×15000

=(100+15) × 15000

=115% × 15000

=115÷ 100 ×15000

=115×15000÷100

=1725000÷100

=17250

=17250 - 15000

=2250
