    Solution

    ATQ,

    Monthly savings of Anjali earlier = 0.60 × 6800 = Rs. 4080 Monthly expenditure of Anjali earlier = 6800 – 4080 = Rs. 2720 Monthly expenditure of Anjali now = 1.30 × 2720 = Rs. 3536 Monthly savings of Anjali now = 1.10 × 4080 = Rs. 4488 Monthly income of Anjali now = 3536 + 4488 = Rs. 8024 Desired percentage increase = [(8024 – 6800)/6800] × 100 = 18%
