Let the initial salary be " x "
x + 20% of x = 1500
x + x/5 = 1500.
6x/5 = 1500
6x = 7500
x = 1250 .
His salary was 1250 rupees earlier
x + 20% of x = 1500
x + x/5 = 1500.
6x/5 = 1500
6x = 7500
x = 1250 .
His salary was 1250 rupees earlier

let the salary before increment be X
after increment =
X + X * (20/100) = 1500
X + X/5= 1500
taking LCM
(5X + X)/5 = 1500
cross multiplication
6X = 1500 * 5
6X = 7500
X=7500/6
X= 1250
after increment =
X + X * (20/100) = 1500
X + X/5= 1500
taking LCM
(5X + X)/5 = 1500
cross multiplication
6X = 1500 * 5
6X = 7500
X=7500/6
X= 1250
