Question

The salary of a person was increased by 15%. If his salary now is 9936 rupees, what was his initial salary

Answer 1

it's very easy here's how to solve it




15\100*9936

= 3\5*2484 = 1490.4

it's the amount added to his salary. So if u deduct that amount from present salary you will get his initial salary.


= 9936 - 1490.4 = 8445.6 rupees is his initial salary.

Answer 2

$\huge\purple{\fbox{\fbox{\red{\mathbb{SOLUTION}}}}}$

let the initial salary be X

$x + 15\% \: of \: x = 9936$

$= > \frac{x}{1} \times \frac{100}{100} + \frac{15}{100} \times x = 9936$

$= > \frac{100x + 15x}{100} = 9936$

$= > \frac{115x}{100} = 9936$

$= > x = 9936 \times \frac{100}{115}$

$= > x = 9936 \times \frac{20}{23}$

$= > x = 432 \times 20$

$= > x = 8640(ans)$
