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

Given:

Percentage increase in salary = 10 %

New salary = Rs. 1,54,000

To do:

We have to find the original salary.

Solution:

Let the original salary be x.

110% of original salary = Rs. 154000

$\frac{110}{100}$ of x = Rs. 154000

$x = 154000\times\frac{100}{110}$

$x  = \frac{15400000}{110}$

$x  = \frac{1540000}{11}$

$x = 140000$

Therefore,

The original salary is Rs. 1,40,000.
