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,

⠀

$\sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = \dfrac{Expenditure}{Earnings} \times 100 \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = \frac{7200}{9600} \times 100 \qquad \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = \frac{72 \cancel{00}}{96 \cancel{00}} \times 100 \qquad \quad \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = \frac{ \cancel{72}}{ \cancel{96}} \times 100 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = \cancel \frac{3}{4} \times 100 \qquad \qquad \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = 0.75 \times 100 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \hookrightarrow Percentage_{expenditure} = \underline{ \boxed{ \orange {\frak{75\%}}}} \: \star \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\$
