Answer:
let the initial salary of the doctor be 100
according to the question , his salary increased by 40 %
i.e 40% of 100+100 =140
inorder to get his original salary (100)back we have to subtract 40 from 140
so percent should the new salary be reduced in order to restore the original salary is 40/140×100
i.e = 28.57% (approx)
here is your answer
