A person saves 25% of his income. If his income increases by 20% and his saving remains the same, then what will be the increased percentage of his expenditure? |
20 26 30 $26\frac{2}{3}$ |
$26\frac{2}{3}$ |
Let initial income = 100 Saving is 25% , So , Expenditure = \(\frac{3}{4}\) × 100 = 75 Increased Income = 100 + \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 100 = 120 ( Saving remains same ) So , New Expenditure = 120 - 25 = 105 Percentage increase in Expenditure = \(\frac{105 - 75}{75}\) × 100 = \(\frac{20}{75}\) × 100 = 26\(\frac{2}{3}\)% |
