Question

The salary of an officer has been increased by 50%. By what percent the new salary must be reduced to

restore the original salary?​

Answer 1

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his original salary be Rs.100.

Increase in salary = 50% of 100 = Rs.50

New salary = Rs.(100+50) = Rs.150

Required percentage = 50/150 × 100 = 33.33%
