Question

Ramesh saves 15% of his salary every month. If his monthly salary is 14400, find his expenditure.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

15% = 15/100

14400 × 15/100 = 2160

It means Ramesh saves rs.2160 every month.

income - saving = expenditure

14400 - 2160 = 12240

expenditure is rs.12240.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that,

Total salary of Ramesh = Rs. 14,400

Percentage of savings = 15%

Let his savings be x,

Therefore,

$= > \frac{x}{14400} \times 100 = 15\% \: \: \: \: \: \\ = > \frac{x}{144} = 15 \% \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = > x = 15 \times 144 = rs.2160$

His savings = Rs. 2160

Therefore,

His expenditure = Rs. 14400 - Rs 2160 = Rs. 12,240
