Percentages:
A percent Is a fraction with denominator 100. i.e 1/100
Per cent is derived from Latin word ‘per centum’
meaning ‘per hundred’.
It is denoted by % symbol
1% means 1/100= .01
=========================================================
Solution:
The salary after increment(new salary) will be the sum of original salary and % increase in the salary.
Let the original salary is x
A.T.Q
x + 10% of x = New salary= 154000
x+ 10x/100=154000
(10x +x) / 10= 154000
11x/10=154000
11x = 1540000
x=1540000/11
X= ₹140000.
Hence, his original salary be ₹ 140000.

Answer:
answer to this question is - ₹ 1,40,000
Step-by-step explanation:
let his original salary be ₹ 100 , then
if 10 % increase in his salary , then :-
10% of 100
10/100 × 100
=10
increased salary = 100 + 10
= 110
if new salary is ₹ 110 , then original salary = 100
if new salary is ₹1 , then original salary = 100/110
if new salary is ₹1,54,000 , then original salary =
100/110 × 1,54,000
= 1,40,000
