Question

The daily wage is increased by 28% and a person now gets rs 160 per day. What was his daily wage before the increase

Answer 1

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original salary be x

since the salary is increased by 28% so

new salary = 28%of + x

According to question,

28%of x+x =160

⇒(28/100)*x+x=160

⇒128x/100=160

⇒x=(160*100)/128

⇒x=125

so original salary = 125
