Question

the salary of an employee in a company was increased by 12% if his present salary is 13440 what was his salary before the increasement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose his actual salary was 100%

Then he got an increase of 12% , so his new salary became 112%

Now here in this case , his new salary is 13440 RS and we assume his earlier salary to be x RS .

So , 13440 RS = 112%

       x RS = 100 %

Now by cross multiplication we can find x which was his salary before increase ,

∴ x = 100 × 13440 ÷ 112

∴ x = 100 × 120

∴ x = 12000 RS
