Question

The salary of a person was increased by 15%.if his salary now is rs.9936 what was his initial salary.

Answer 1

Hello user

Let the original salary be x

So, Atq we have

x + 3/20x = 9936

23x/20 = 9936

x = 432 × 20

x = 8640

Answer 2

we will take initial as original

15% increased
so, 15% of 9916 =15/100 ×9916=1490

original salary =9916-1490 = 8429
Therefore his initial salary = 8429
