Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: First, we need to find out Cheko's original salary. If a 36% increase in his salary equals $13500, then his original salary can be calculated as follows:

13500/0.36=13500 / 0.36 = 37500

Step 2: Now, we know that Cheko's salary is 25% less than Raj's salary. So, if we let Raj's salary be X, then Cheko's salary is 75% of Raj's salary, or 0.75X.

So, we can set up the equation:

0.75X = $37500

Step 3: Solve the equation for X (Raj's salary):

X = 37500/0.75=37500 / 0.75 = 50000

So, Raj's salary is $50000.
