    Solution

    Monthly savings and expenditure of A initially is Rs. 1500 and Rs. 4500, respectively. Monthly expenditure of A now = 0.65 × 4500 = Rs. 2925 Monthly savings of A now = 1.35 × 1500 = Rs. 2025 Monthly income of A now = 2925 + 2025 = Rs. 4950 Desired percentage decrease = [(6000 – 4950)/6000] × 100 = 17.5%
