Question

A person saves 40% of his monthly salary. If his monthly expenditure is Rs. 5400, then his monthly savings (in Rs.) is:

• A. 3600
• B. 1800
• C. 2400
• D. None of These

Answer 1

The correct option is A

3600

Let the monthly salary be ‘x’

Saving percentage = 40%

Then, expenditure percentage = 100% - 40% = 60%

60% of x = 5400

$\frac{60}{100}$x = 5400

x = 9000

Monthly saving = $\frac{40}{100}$$\times$9000 = 3600
