Question

the salary of a person was increased by 15/ if salary now is 9936what was it initial salary​

Answer 1

Answer:

8640

Step-by-step explanation:

let the initial salary be x

% of increment = 15% of x

present salary = x+15% of x

so, according to question,

9936 = x+15% of x

⇒ 9936 = x+15x/100

⇒ 9936 = 23x/20

⇒ x = 9936 x20/23 = 8640

so original salary = 8640
