Question

The salary of a man increased 18 percent annually . If his present salary is 45,000 what was it a year ago

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the salary of the man a year ago be ₹X

Now, 18%of x=18x/100=9x/50

Now, the present salary = x+(9x/50)=45000

=x+(9x/50)=₹45000

=59x/50=₹45000

=59x=₹45000x50

=x=₹2250000/59

=x=₹38135.6
