Answer 1

Let the ram salary before be x

96x/100=₹7200

96x=₹720000

x=₹7500

Answer 2

Ram's salary before the decrease of 4% was Rs.7500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ram's decreased salary= Rs.7200

rate of decrement= 4%

To find:

Ram's salary before the decrement

Solution:

Let's assume Ram's original salary was Rs. y

Now, according to given

Ram's salary decreased by 4% and reached 7200

∴ y - 4% of y = 7200

∴ y - 0.04y = 7200

∴ 0.96y = 7200

∴ y = 7200 / 0.96

∴ y = 7500

∴ Ram's salary = Rs.7,500

Thus, Ram's salary before the decrement was Rs. 7,500
