Question

Ramesh got an increase of $10\%$ in his salary. If the salary after increase was $Rs.36355$, find his salary before increase.

Answer 1

Let Vikram' salary = $x$
After increase by $10\%$ = $Rs36355$
Thus, $x+10$ $\%$ of $x=36355$
$x+\frac{10x}{100}=36355$
$\frac{110x}{100}=36355$
$x=Rs33050$
