Question
Ankit was given an increment of 10% on his salary. His new salary is Rs 3575. What was his salary before increment?
Solution
Let the initial salary be Rs x.
We know that:
Salary before increment + increment given on salary = new salary
\[ \therefore x + 10 \%\text{ of }x = 3575\]
\[ \Rightarrow x + \frac{10}{100}x = 3575\]
\[ \Rightarrow 100x + 10x = 357500\]
\[ \Rightarrow 110x = 357500\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{357500}{110}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 3250\]
∴ Salary before increment = Rs 3, 250

- Calculate your ideal weight as per your height from the table given at the end of this question.
- An active child should eat around 55.11 calories for each kilogram desired weight.
- 55 per cent of calories should come from carbohydrates. There are 4 calories in each gram of carbohydrates.
- 15 per cent of your calories should come from proteins. There are 4 calories in each gram of proteins.
- 30 per cent of your calories may come from fats. There are 9 calories in each gram of fat.
Following is an example to design your own healthy diet.
Example
- Ideal weight = 40 kg.
- The number of calories needed = 40 × 55.11 = 2204.4
- Calories that should come from carbohydrates = 2204.4 × 0.55 = 1212.42 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of carbohydrates = `1212.42/4` = 303.105 g = 300 g. (approx) - Calories that should come from proteins = 2204.4 × 0.15 = 330.66 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of protein = `330.66/4` g = 82.66 g. - Calories that may come from fat = 2204.4 × 0.3 = 661.3 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of fat = `661.3/9` g = 73.47 g.
