Question 114

Question. 114

Bhavya earns ₹ 50,000 per month and spends 80% of it. Due to pay revision, her monthly income increases by 20% but due to price rise, she has to spend 20% more. Find her new savings.

Answer:

₹ 12,000

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Old savings = 20% of 50,000 = 10,000.
New income = 50,000 × 1.2 = 60,000.
New expenditure = 80% of 50,000 × 1.2 = 48,000.
Savings = 60,000 - 48,000 = 12,000.
