Jafar will get $12400 more if his salary is increased by 31%. Jafar's salary is 20% less of his colleague Ali's salary. What is Ali's salary?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ali's salary is $50000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jafar's salary be x.

(31/100)*x = 12400

x = (12400*100)/31

x = 400*100

x = $40000

Let Ali's salary be y.

y-[(20/100)*y] = 40000

y-(y/5) = 40000

(5y-y)/5 = 40000

4y = 200000

y = $50000
