Given:-

on increasing the salary of a clerk by 10% , his salary is increased by 1800.

To find:-.

find his original salary

Solution:-

Let the original salary of the clerk be X

Increasing percentage=10%

10% of X

=10×X/100

=X/10

now his salary after increasing =X+X/10

=>(10X+X)/10

= 11X/10

according to the given problem

His salary after increased by 1800

=>11X/10=X+1800

=>(11X/10)-X=1800

=>(11X-10X)/10=1800

= X/10=1800

=>X=1800×10

=>X=18000

Answer:-

The original salary of the clerk=18000
