      Solution

      Monthly savings and expenditure of A initially is Rs. 1960 and Rs. 5040, respectively. Monthly expenditure of A now = 0.65 Γ— 5040 = Rs. 3276 Monthly savings of A now = 1.35 Γ— 1960 = Rs. 2646 Monthly income of A now = 3276 + 2646 = Rs. 5922 Desired percentage decrease = [(7000 – 5922)/7000] Γ— 100 = 15.4%
