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

Given the salary of a person after a 10% increase as Rs 1,54,000

To find original salary of the person before the increase.

Solution:

Let the salary of the person by Rs $x$

After a 10% increase, his salary becomes 

= $x$$\times \frac{(100+10)}{100}$ = $1.1x$

=Rs $1,54,000$

So salary $x$ = $\frac {1,54,000}{1.1}$

                    = Rs $1,40,000$

So original salary = Rs $1,40,000$
