Answer 2

Given Information :-

⠀⠀

• A man earns rs. 9600
• He saves Rs. 2400

⠀

To Find :-

⠀

• The percentage of amount he spends

⠀

Solution :-

⠀

To find the percentage of expenditure, we must know how much amount does he really spend, thus :

⠀

➥ Expenditure = Earnings - Savings

➥ Expenditure = Rs. 9600 - Rs. 2400

➥ Expenditure = Rs. 7200

⠀

Now, we can find the percentage,

⠀

`\sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = (Expenditure)/(Earnings) * 100 \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = (7200)/(9600) * 100 \qquad \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = \frac{72 \cancel{00}}{96 \cancel{00}} * 100 \qquad \quad \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = \frac{ \cancel{72}}{ \cancel{96}} * 100 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = \cancel (3)/(4) * 100 \qquad \qquad \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = 0.75 * 100 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_(expenditure) = \underline{ \boxed{ \orange {\frak{75\%}}}} \: \star \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\`

Thus, the percentage of his expenditure is 75%.
