Question

The monthly salary of a typist is Rs 15625. If he gets an increase of 12%, find his new salary.

Answer 1

Total monthly salary = Rs 15625
Increase percentage = 12%
∴ Amount increase = 12% of Rs 15625
= Rs $\left(15625\times \frac{12}{100}\right)$ = Rs 1875
∴ New salary = Rs 15625 + Rs 1875
= Rs 17500
Hence, the new salary of the typist is Rs 17,500.
