A worker suffers a 20% cut in his wages. He may regain his original wages by obtaining a rise of how much percent?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
ATQ,
Original : New
-20% ⇒ 5 : 4
To get the original value(5), we need to increase new value(4) by 1.
So,
Increased percent = \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 25%
