After an increase of 9% in salary, a person received ₹6,300. What was his salary before the increase (consider integral part only)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ₹5,779.
Let the original salary be ₹x
⇒ x + 9x/100 = 6300
⇒ 109x/100 = 6300
⇒ 1.09x = 6300
⇒ x = 5779
