Without any change in the salaries of the remaining employees, the average(Average mean) employee salary was 10% more after the decrease in the number of employees than before the decrease. The total of the combined salaries of all the employees at company E after July 1 last year was wht % of that before July 1st last year?

before july first

No of employees = 100
Avg salary = 100
total salary = 10000 ----- X

After 1st July
No of employee = 90
Avg Salary = 110
Total salary = 9900 ----- Y

question is Y is what % of X..... 99%
