After a 9% increase in salary, a person received Rs. 6,300.
Formula Used:
New Salary = Original Salary × (1 + Percentage Increase)
Calculation:
Let the original salary be x. After a 9% increase, the salary becomes:
New Salary = x × (1 + 0.09)
New Salary = x × 1.09
According to the question:
1.09 × x = 6300
⇒ x = 6300 / 1.09
⇒ x ≈ 5779
The salary before the increase was Rs. 5,779.
