≡QUESTION≡

Suman saves 10% of her monthly salary. Now her expenditure increases by 30% and savings increases by 50%. What is the percentage increase in her salary?

                                                     

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

Let's Suman's monthly salary be Rs.100

She saves 10% of her salary

i.e. 10% of 100 = 10

Also her expenditure = 100-90

                                     = 90 or 90%

According to the question

When expenditure is increased by 30%

such that, 90+(30% of 90) = 90+[(30/100)×90]

                                             = 117

Savings increased by 50%

=> 10+(50% of 10)

= 10+[(50/100)×10)

= 15

New salary = expenditure + savings

                    = 117+15

                   = 132

Increase in salary = old salary - new salary

                              = 132-100

                               =32

Ans - 32%

                                                       

Answer 2

the increase in salary is 32%
