Question

Salary of a person is increased by 12%. If the present salary is 56000,what was the initial salary?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial salary = 50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial salary be x

Salary increased = 12% × x

= 12/100 × x

Salary after increasing = 56,000

a/q,

x + 12/100 × x = 56000

x + 12/100x = 56000

x + 3/25x = 56000

3x + 25x / 25 = 56000

28/25x = 56000

28x = 56000/25

x = 56000 × 25 / 28

x = 2000 × 25

x = 50,000

initial salary = 50,000

amount of salary increased = 12/100 × 50000

= 12 × 500

= 6000

let's check answer

initial salary + amount of salary increased = Salary after increasing

50000 + 6000 = 56000

56000 = 56000
