Question 56

Shreya was given an increment of 10% on her salary . Her new salary is ₹5,500. What was her salary before the increment?

Solution

Let's assume her salary before the increment is ₹'y'.

Shreya was given an increment of 10% on her salary. Her new salary is ₹5,500.

y of (100+10)% = 5500

y of 110% = 5500

$$y\times\frac{110}{100}=5500$$

$$y\times\frac{1}{10}=500$$

So her salary before the increment = y = 5000
