Radha saves 25% of her income. If her expenditure increases by 20% and her income increases by 29%, then her savings increase by :
65%
56%
52%
70%
Let the income of Radha is 100x
Saving = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 100X = 25xExpenditure = 100x - 25x = 75xThe new increased income = 100X + 100X × \(\frac{29}{100}\) = 100X + 29X = 129XThe new expenditure = 75X + 75X × \(\frac{20}{100}\) = 75X + 15X = 90XThe new saving = 129X – 90X = 39XIncreases percent of saving = \(\frac{14x}{25x}\) × 100 = 56%
