Question

The salary of an employ is increased by 20%
By what percentage should the new salary be reduce to restore the original salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider an amt =100

A/Q

100+100 of 20% = 100 + 20

120 of x% = 100

6x / 5 =100

x = 83.33

Reduced % = 100 - 83.33

= 16.67%

Answer 2

Answer:

new salry=120

now reduce salry% =(20/120)*100

now 100/6%

so 16.66%
