Question

Q. Russel's income was first increased by 15%, then decreased by 8%. If his
latest income is 37260, then find his original income.​

Answer 1

Answer:

This was the answer of this question.

Answer 2

Answer:

approximately 35217.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Russel have an income of 100.

After an increase of 15% it becomes 115

But an 8% reduction on 115 is 115 - 8 x 115 / 100 = 115 - 9.2 = 105.8

So if 105.8 is 37260

then 100 is 37620 / 1.058 = 35217.39130434782608695652173913

————————————————————————————————————

Russel’s intermediate income decreased by 8% is 37260

So 92% of Russel’s intermediate income is 37260

Then 100% Russel’s intermediate income = 40500

This is 115% of Russel’s original income

So 115% Russel’s original income = 40500

Then 100% Russel’s original income

= 40500/1.15 = 35217.39130434782608695652173913
