Question

lovely saves 20% of her monthly salary .But due to dearness her monthly expenditure increase 20% and she saves only Rs20. Find her monthly salary.

Answer 1

Hey mate,

# Answer- Salary = Rs.500

# Solution-

Consider X be Lovely's salary.

She saves 20% × X.

Hence expenditure = 80%×X

Due to dearness her expenses increased by 20%.

New expenses = 120%(80%X)

New expenses = 96% of X

Now her savings are

New savings = X - 96% X = 4% of X

But given is new savings = Rs.20

20 = 4% × X

X = 20×100/4

X = Rs.500

Hence, Lovely's salary must be Rs.500.

Hope this is useful..
