      Question

      Sonal had a total income of Rs. 45000. She spent Rs. 5000

      less than the amount she saved. What portion of her income did she spend in percentage?
      A 28.35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20.08% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 44.44% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35.23% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the amount saved by Sonal = Rs. Y

      Then, amount spent by Sonal = Rs. (Y - 5000)

      We have, Y + Y - 5000 = 45000

      Or, Y = (45000 + 5000) ÷ 2 = Rs. 25000

      So, amount spent by Sonal = 25000 - 5000 = Rs. 20000

      Required percentage = (20000 / 45000) × 100 = 44.44%
