Priya got a raise of 10% in her salary. Find the total amount if her present salary is Rs. 15000.

Answer 1

let her previous salary be x
then 15000=x+ 10% of x
15000= x +10x/100
15000=100x/100 + 10x/100
15000=110x/100
15000×100=110x
1500000=110x
x=1500000/110
x=13636.3636.....
so her previous salary was 13636 approx.

Answer 2

Original salary = (Present salary * raised %)/100

                         = (15000 * 10)/100

                         = 15000


Total Amount = 1500 + 15000

                       = 16500.




Therefore the total amount = 16500.




Hope this helps!
