Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Monthly expenditure now = 2464

It decreased by = 12%

So current expenditure is 88% of the previous monthly expenditure (100 - 12 = 88)

Let the previous monthly expenditure be x

therefore,

$88\% \: of \: x = 2464$

$\frac{88}{100} \times x = 2464$

$x = \frac{2464 \times 100}{88}$

$x = 2800$

Therefore the previous monthly expenditure was 2,800.
