    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the monthly income of Rahul be Rs. 100x.

    So, monthly savings of Rahul = 0.36 × 100x = Rs. 36x

    Monthly expenditure of Rahul = 100x – 36x = Rs. 64x

    Monthly income of Rahul after increase = 1.182 × 100x = Rs. 118.2x

    Monthly expenditure of Rahul after increase = 118.2x – 36x = 82.2x

    Desired percentage = [(82.2x – 64x)/64x] × 100 = 28.44%
