Answer:

Russet's income was first increased by 15 %, then decreased by 8 %. If his latest income is Rs 37260, then his original income is Rs 32741.652.

It is increased by 15%.so,now Russet's income become = (x+15) % of x.

Then his income reduced by 8%.so,now the income is = (x+15) % of x - 8% of(x+15% of x)

37260 = x + 0.15x - 8% of 0.15x

37260 = x + 0.15x - 0.012x

37260 = 1.138x

X= 32741.652

So, original income of Russet was 32741.652
