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

Answer 1

Let original salary be Rs x
According to the question,
Original salary + 10% increase = New salary
x+10% of x=Rs 1,54,000
$x+\frac{10}{100}x=1,54,000$
$\frac{110}{100x}=1,54,000$
$x=\frac{1,54,000\times 100}{110}$
x=Rs 1,40,000
Hence his original salary is Rs 1,40,000
