If a man’s salary is increased by 1/5 and his current pay is 60,000. What will be his increased pay?

  • (A) 10,000
  • (B) 12,000
  • (C) 13,000
  • (D) 14,000
  • Solution: Given that the current salary is 60,000, the increment is one-fifth of that salary.
  • To compute it, we have 60,000 ÷ 5 = 12,000. Thus, the salary increment is 12,000.
  • If we add this increment to the original salary, we get 60,000 + 12,000 = 72,000.
  • However, what is asked is the increment, which is 12,000.
