Amit was given an increment of 20% on his salary. If his new salary is Rs. 30600, what was his salary before the increment?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let Amit’s old salary = Z

∴ Salary after increment = (Z + 20Z/100)

Now,

⇒ (Z + 20 Z/100) = 30600

⇒ (100 Z + 20 Z)/100 = 30600

⇒ 120 Z = 30600 × 100

⇒ Z = 25500
