Answer:

The actual salary of usman was Rs. 3461.53

Explanation:

Given that:

Percent increase in salary = 30%

Total salary percent would be = (100+30)% = 130%

Salary after increment = Rs. 4500

Let,

x be the actual salary before increase.

According to given statement,

130% of x = 4500

$(130)/(100)x=4500\\1.3x=4500$

Dividing both sides by 1.3

$(1.3x)/(1.3)=(4500)/(1.3)\\x=Rs 3461.53$

Hence,

The actual salary of usman was Rs. 3461.53
