Question

If the net salary is $\$2365$, find the basic salary of each employee.

• A. $\$$950
• B. $\$$1100
• C. $\$$1250
• D. $\$$1300

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\$$1100

Given:
Net salary = $\$$2365

Let the basic salary of the employee be x.
We know,
Net salary = x + a + b + c

$⟹$ 2365 = x + $\frac{1}{4}$x +$\frac{1}{2}$x + $\frac{2}{5}$x

$⟹$ 2365 = x + 0.25x + 0.5x + 0.4x

$⟹$ 2365 = 2.15x

$⟹$ x =1100

Therefore, the basic salary of the employee is $\$$1100.
