If the monthly salary of an employee is increased by $2 \frac{2}{3} \%$, he gets ₹ 72 more. His monthly salary (in ₹) is
(a)2000
(b)2700
(c)3600
(d)7200
Answer
Explanation
Let the monthly salary be ₹ $x$. Then, $2 \frac{2}{3} \%$ of $x=72$ $\Rightarrow \frac{8}{3} \times \frac{1}{100} \times x=72 \Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{72 \times 3 \times 100}{8}\right)=2700$.
