Question

A man got a 10% increase in his salary. If his new salary is rupee 1,54,000, find his original salary

Answer 1

1,40,000 Rs. is his original Salary.

Let the original Salary of the man be = X

His New Salary = 1,54,000 Rs. (given)

X + (10/100 × X ) = 154000

X + (X/10) = 154000

11X / 10 =154000

X = 154000 × (10/11)

x = 140000

Hence we can say that his original Salary was 1,40,000 Rs.

Answer 2

1,38,600
