A girl spends 80% of her income. If her income increases by 18% and her expenditure increases by 25%, then what is the percentage increase or decrease in her savings (correct to one decimal place)?
Given,Â
A girl spend 80% of its income.
Let the income of the girl is 100x.
Expenditure is 80% of income =Â $$\frac{80}{100}\times\ 100x=80x$$
Saving = income - expenditureÂ
= `100x - 80x = 20x
According to question,Â
Income is increased by 18% = 100x +Â $$\frac{18}{100}\times\ 100x=118x$$
Increase in expenditure is 25% = 80x +Â $$\frac{25}{100}\times\ 80x=100x$$
New saving = 118x - 100x = 18xÂ
Required Decreased % =Â $$\frac{\left(20x-18x\right)}{20x}\times\ 100=10\%$$
Hence, Option B is correct.Â
