Answer 1

• Let the salary of the peon be x
• Increase in the salary pf peon = 7% of x
• Present salary = ₹1519.40
• According to question,
• => x - 7% of x = 1519.40
• => x - 7/100 x = 1519.40
• => (100x - 7x)/100 = 151940/100
• => 93x / 100 = 151940/100
• => x = (152940 × 100) / 100 × 93
• On solving, you will get the value of x.
