Question

The salary of a doctor is increased by 40%. By what percent should the new salary be reduced in order to restore the original salary

Answer:

28%

increase in salary = 40% = 40%(x)= 0.4x

modified salary = x + 0.4x = 1.4x

percentage of reduction to bring it back to original salary = 0.4x/1.4x = 0.28 = 28%
