Question

Mr. Singh earns Rs 5500 per month. He spends 85% of the amount and saves the rest. On 1 January his salary was increased by 10%. He now increased his expenses to 87% of his salary.How much less or more does he save now?

Answer 1

5500×15%=825

10% increase
5500+550=6050

6050×13%=786.5

Decrease in savings =825-786.5=38.5

Answer 2

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{Mr. Singh saves Rs. 38.5 less than before.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mr. Singh earns Rs 5500 per month spends 85% of the amount, so the amount saved by him is

$A_s=5500-85\%\times5500=5500-\dfrac{85}{100}\times5500=5500-4675=825.$

On January 1, the salary increased by 10%, so the new income of Mr. Singh is

$5500+10\%\times5500=5500+550=6050.$

Since, Mr. Singh spends 87% of the income now, so his new savings will be

$A_{ns}=6050-87\%\times6050=6050-\dfrac{87}{100}\times6050=6050-5263.5=786.5.$

So, the new savings is less than the previous one and the difference is

$A_{ns}=A_s=825-786.5=38.5.$

Thus, Mr. Singh saves Rs. 38.5 less than before.
