Shashi saves 12% of her income. If her income is increased by 25% and she now saves 15% of her income, then by what percentage will her actual savings increase? Correct Answer 56.25
Let the income of Shashi be 100x.
Savings of Shashi = 100x × 12/100 = 12x
New income of Shashi = 100x × 125/100 = 125x
New savings of Shashi = 125x × 15/100 = 18.75x
Her savings increased by = 18.75x – 12x = 6.75x
Her percentage of savings increased by = (6.75x/12x) × 100 = 56.25%
