Question

Raju's salary is 25% more than ramu and his expenses are 125% of ramu's expenses. What percent of raju's savings is ramu's savings, if ramu saves 25% of his income?

Answer 1

Answer:

Raju's saving is 125% of Ramu's saving

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salary of Ramu is x

Then the salary of Raju = x + 25x/100

                       = x + x/4

                       = 5x/4

Ramu saves 25% of his income

Therefore, savings of Ramu = 25x/100 = x/4

Expenditure of Ramu = x - x/4 = 3x/4

Expenses of Raju are 125% of Ramu's expenses

Therefore, expenses of Raju

$=\frac{3x}{4}\times\frac{125}{100}$

$=\frac{3x}{4}\times1.25$

$=\frac{3.75x}{4}$

Savings of Raju

$=\frac{5x}{4}-\frac{3.75x}{4}$

$=\frac{1.25x}{4}$

Savings of Raju/Savings of Ramu

$=\frac{1.25x/4}{x/4}$

$=1.25$

Percentage

$=1.25\times 100$

$=125\%$

Thus Raju's saving is 125% of Ramu's saving
