    Income of Deepa is Rs. 60,000. She spends 10% on rent,

    25% on clothing, 'a%' on food, 30% on others and saves the rest. If her savings is Rs. 9,000, find the value of 'a'.
    A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Savings as percentage of income = (9000 ÷ 60000) × 100 = 15%
    So, 10 + 25 + a + 30 + 15 = 100
    Or, 80 + a = 100
    Or, a = 20
