Salary of A is Rs. 15000 and his savings percentage is 12% and the rest is the expenditure. Due to slack in the company, the salary of A is decreased by 2% but his expenditure increased by 2%. By how much percent his savings are down due to slack? Correct Answer 31.33%
Given,
Salary of A = Rs. 15000
Savings percentage = 12%
Expenditure percentage = 88%
Expenditure amount he spend = 15000 × 88/100 = 13200
His savings = 15000 - 13200 = 1800
Due to slack,
Reduction in salary by 2%.
New salary after reduction = 15000 - 15000 × 2/100
= 14700
His expenditure increased by 2%.
New expenditure = 13200 + 13200 × 2/100 = 13464
His new savings due to slack = 14700 - 13464 = 1236
Percentage change in savings
= {(1800 - 1236)/1800} × 100
= 31.33%
