Solution

Step 1: First, we need to find out Cheko's original salary. If his salary increased by 36% and he got 13500more,wecanwritetheequation:0.36originalsalary=13500 more, we can write the equation: 0.36 * original_salary = 13500. Solving this equation, we find that Cheko's original salary is 13500/0.36=13500 / 0.36 = 37500.

Step 2: Now, we know that Cheko's salary is 25% less than Raj's salary. This means that Raj's salary is 100% + 25% = 125% of Cheko's salary. So, we can find Raj's salary by multiplying Cheko's salary by 1.25 (or 125/100).

Raj's salary = 1.25 * Cheko's salary = 1.25 * 37500=37500 = 46875.

So, Raj's salary is $46875.
