Question

salary of an officer is increased by 25% by what percent should the new salary be decreased to restore the original salary

Answer 1

By 25%. Add 25% to the salary and reduce 25% from the salary. Adding and subracting 25% will cancel each other and the original salary will remain.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial salary be 100rs.

Increased % = 25%

New salary= 125 rs

125 x ?/100 = 100

? = 80%

100%-80%= 20%
