Question

Mr. Sam earns 20% more than Susan and spends 10% more than Susan. If Susan saves Rs. 6.000
from his income of Rs. 60.000, then how much does Mr. Sam save?​

Answer 1

Sam’s income: 60,000*1.2 = 72,000
Sam’s expense: (60,000-6,000)*1.1 = 59,400

Sam’s Savings: 72,000-59,400 = 12,600

Answer 2

Mr. Sam saves Rupees 12600.

Given - Income and saving of Susan

Find - Mr. Sam's saving

Solution - Earning of Mr. Sam = 60000 + 20%*60000

Mr. Sam's earning = 60000 + $\frac{20}{100} \times 60000$

Mr. Sam's earning = 60000 + 2*6000

Mr. Sam's earning = 60000 + 12000

Mr. Sam's earnings = 72000

Expenditure of Susan = 60000 - 6000

Expenditure of Susan = 54000

Mr. Sam's expenditure = 54000 + 10%*54000

Mr. Sam's expenditure = 54000 + $\frac{10}{100} \times 54000$

Mr. Sam's expenditure = 54000 + 5400

Mr. Sam's expenditure = 59400

Mr. Sam's saving = 72000 - 59400

Mr. Sam's saving = 12600

Hence, Mr. Sam saves Rupees 12600.
