Answer 1

x + 25/100x =25. (25% = 25/100)
now solve for x
you will get x = 20

Answer 2

Answer: Rs. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the daily wages of the person is = Rs. x

Now there is increment of 25%  in his wages

Salary after increment = Rs. 25

Therefore

$x+ 25\% \text { of } x= 25 \\\\\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{25}{100} x= 25\\\\\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{1}{4} x= 25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x}{4} = 25\\\\\Rightarrow x= Rs. 20$

Hence,the daily wages of the person is Rs. 20 before the increase
