⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☛...Given...☚ ⠀⠀

The increased per. of daily wage = 25%⠀

A man's salary of one day = 23 Rs...⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ☛...To find...☚⠀⠀ ⠀

What was his daily wags before the increase...??

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❐ ...SoLution... ❐⠀⠀

Let the daily wage of the person = x Rs...

According to question...

• x + 25% of x = 23

• x + 25 / 100 × x = 23

• x + 1x / 4 = 23

• 5x / 4 = 25

• 5x = 25 × 4

• 5x = 100

• x = 100 / 5 ⠀⠀⠀

• x = 20 rs...

Therefore, his daily wage before increase was 20 rs per day...

There is some mistake in urr question...it should be 25 rs. in the place of 23 rs.
