a man saves 20% of his monthly salary.if on account of dearness of things,he is to increase his monthly expenses by 20% and he is only able to save rs 200 per month.What is his monthly salary?

• let salary-s and expense-x
  x=80% of s
  new expenses=x+20/100x=120/100x
  new expenses=(120/100)*(80/100)*s
  =96/100*s=96% of salary
  so 4% of s=200
  s=5000

• let monthly income be rs 100
  savings rs 20
  expenditure rs 80
  new expenditure (120% of existing exp) rs96
  new savings rs 4 = 4%
  
  if new savings = 4% = 200
  monthly salary = rs 5000/-

• 20% of 0.8x = 0.16x where x is monthly salary.
  then now total expnses is 0.96x then its equal to 200 thn x = 5000

• 5000 is the monthly income.
  let us take his monthly salary as x
  he saves x/5
  expenses 4x/5
  expenses increased by 20%
  which becomes 24x/25
  amount remained x-24x/25=200
  x=5000.
