Gursimar was given an increment of 15% on her salary. If her new salary is ₹84,180, what was her salary before the increment?

Correct option is B

Given:

New salary after increment = ₹84,180

Increment percentage = 15%

Solution:
Let the salary before the increment be X.
After a 15% increase, the new salary is 115% of the original salary, i.e.,

New salary =$$\frac{115}{100} \times$$​ X

84,180 =$$\frac{115}{100} \times$$​ X

84,180 =$$1.15 \times$$​X

X =$$\frac{84,180}{1.15} =$$​73,200

Therefore, Gursimar's salary before the increment was ₹73,200.
