If Suraj's sum of the salaries of 2003, 2004, 2005 is $36400 and the salary gets incremented 20% every year then find the salary drawn by Suraj in the year 2005?

• ANS - 14400
  let the salary in 2003 be x
  X + (6X/5) + (36X/25) = 36400
  solving the above, we get X= 10000
  thus, salary drawn in 2005 = 14400$

• ans:$14400
  let salary in 2003 be 100
  then in 2004=120
  in 2005=120+20%of(120)=144
  total=364
  if 364=36400
  then initial salary must be 100*100=10,000
  so in 2005=144*100=14400$

• X+12/10x+12/10(12/10x)=364000
  x=10000
  so salry of 2005 is 17280

• LET HIS SALARY IN 2003 BE X...THEN HIS SALARY IN 2004 WILL BE 6X/5 AND HIS SALARY IN 2005 WILL BE 25X/36.
  THEREFORE X+(6X/5)+(36X/25)=36400
  THEN X=14400
