Given:
- Initial salary = Rs 15,000
- After 6 months, the salary is increased by 25%
- After another 3 months, the salary is decreased by 15%
To find:
Salary of the person after 9 months.
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate the salary after 6 months.
- Increase in salary = 25% of Rs 15,000
- Increase = 25/100 * 15,000 = Rs 3,750
- Salary after 6 months = Initial salary + Increase
- Salary after 6 months = Rs 15,000 + Rs 3,750 = Rs 18,750
Step 2: Calculate the salary after 9 months.
- Decrease in salary = 15% of Rs 18,750
- Decrease = 15/100 * 18,750 = Rs 2,812.5
- Salary after 9 months = Salary after 6 months - Decrease
- Salary after 9 months = Rs 18,750 - Rs 2,812.5 = Rs 15,937.5
Therefore, the salary of the person after 9 months is Rs 15,937.5.

= 18750 -2812.5
9 month = 15937.5
