Download Solution PDFGiven:
The expenditure on the cost of living of a man and his family is 60% of his salary.
He gets two increment of 30% and 60% in his salary. If his saving increases by 250% of his initial saving
Calculation:
Let the salary of the man be 100a
So, expenditure = 100a × 60%
⇒ 60a
Savings = 100a - 60a
⇒ 40a
Now,
His new salary = 100a × 130% × 160%
⇒ 208a
His new savings = 40a + 40a × 250%
⇒ 140a
Expenditure = 208a - 140a
⇒ 68a
Required % = (68a/208a) × 100
⇒ 32.69 ≈ 32.70%
∴ The required answer is 32.7%.
