Question
Ramesh's salary was reduced by 10% and then the reduced
salary was increased by 10%. What was his ultimate loss?Solution
Let Ramesh's original salary be ₹100 (we choose 100 for simplicity, since percentages are easier to calculate).
10% of ₹100 = ₹10
Reduced salary = ₹100 - ₹10 = ₹90
10% of ₹90 = ₹9
Increased salary = ₹90 + ₹9 = ₹99
Original salary = ₹100
Final salary = ₹99
Loss = ₹100 - ₹99 = ₹1
So, the ultimate loss is ₹1, which is 1% of the original salary .
