Question

If a man spends $70\%$ of his income, what percent does he save?

Answer 1

Step: Finding the percentage of saving
Let, the total income of the man be $Rs.100$
If a man spends $70\%$ of his income, then total expenses
$=\frac{70}{100}\times 100=Rs.70$

Savings after his expenditure
$=$ Income $-$ Expenditure
$=100-70=Rs.30$

Hence, his savings in percent

$=\frac{30}{100}\times 100\%$

$=30\%$

Hence, the man saved $30\%$ of his total income.
