Solution

Suresh's average monthly expenditure for the first four months of the year = Rs.260×4= Rs.1040

For the next five months, the average monthly expenditure was Rs.40 more than what it was during the first four months.

He spent Rs.260+40 for one month.

In 5 months he spent Rs.300×5= Rs.1500.

He spent Rs.560 in all during the remaining three months of the year.

Total expenditure = Rs.1040+ Rs.1500+ Rs.560=3100

Savings =50003100=1900

Percentage savings =19005000×100=38%
