Out of his income of Rs. 50,000, Ravi spent 25% on food,
15% of the remaining income on clothing, and saved the rest. If he would have spent Rs. 200 more on food and Rs. 500 more on clothing, then how much had he saved?Solution
Amount spent on food = 50000 × 0.25 = Rs. 12,500 Remaining income after food expenses = 50000 - 12500 = Rs. 37,500 Amount spent on clothing = 37500 × 0.15 = Rs. 5,625 Increased food expense = 12500 + 200 = Rs. 12,700 Increased clothing expense = 5625 + 500 = Rs. 6,125 Amount saved = 50000 - (12700 + 6125) = 50000 - 18825 = Rs. 31,175
