Question

The salaries of a, b and c are of ratio 2:3:5. If the increments of 15%, 10% and 20% are done to their respective salaries, then find the new ratio of their salaries

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume their salaries are 20, 30 and 50 rupees respectively. I have taken these value to make the calculation simple, you can however take any value and divide it according to their ratios:

So the increase in their salaries would be as follows:

Increase of A= 20 *15/100 = 3 rupees

New salary A= 20+3 = 23 rupees

Increase of B= 30 * 10/ 100= 3 rupees

New Salary B= 30+3 = 33 rupees

Increase of C= 50 * 20/100 = 10 rupees

New salary C= 50+10 = 60 rupees

Therefore, new salaries of A, B and C are 23, 33 and 60 respectively and this would be their new ratio as well.

New Ratios-  23: 33: 60
