 SOLUTION
1. 43% + 12 = 53% 13. Let income of Rishu = Rs. 100
10% = 20 Her savings = Rs. x
100% = 200 Expenditure = Rs. (100 – x)
2. 32% + 25 = 37% – 25 Her new income = Rs. 126
5% = 50 Her expenditure
100% = 1000
3. 45 + 35 = 20% 120 6 (100 – x)
= (100 – x) =
90 = 20% 100 5
450 = 100%

4. 15% = 65 + 25 Savings = =
100 2
15% = 120
100% = 800 6 (100 – x) 3x
5. 30% = 530 + 280  126 – =

30% = 810
100% = 2700 630 – 600  6x 3x

6. 500 + 200 = 20% 5 2
700 = 20% (30 + 6x) × 2 = 15x
3500 = 100% 60 + 12x = 15x
7. 25% + 30 = 35% – 20  3x = 60
50 = 10%  x = 20
500 = 100% Her savings =Rs. 20
33% = 165 14. Let man's income = Rs. 100
8. 17% + 24 = 34% – 27 Expenditure = Rs. 75
51 = 17% saving = 100 – 75 = Rs. 25
100% = 300 New income = 128% of 100
25% = 75
9. 15% + 25 = 25% – 15 128
× 100 = Rs. 128
40 = 10% 100
15% = 60 New Expenditure = 120% of 75
Passing marks :- 60 + 25 = 85

Percentage increase in saving
Passing marks :- 17.5 + 5 = 22.5
