Question : Shreya was given an increment of 10% on her salary. Her new salary is INR 5,500. What was her salary before the increment?

Let $x$ be the old salary.
Increment = 10% of $x$
Now, $x$ + 10% of $x$ = 5500
⇒ 110% of $x$ = 5500
⇒ $x$ = $\frac{550000}{110}$ = INR 5000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 5000.
