Budget Breakdown

The table provides the monthly budget details for an average household:

Category Amount (Rs.)
Food 4000
Clothing 1200
Rent 2000
Savings 1500
Other expenses 1800

Calculating Budget Not Spent on Savings

First, find the total monthly budget by summing all expenses, including savings:

Total Budget = Rs. (4000 + 1200 + 2000 + 1500 + 1800) = Rs. 10500

Next, determine the amount NOT spent on savings. This is the total budget minus the amount allocated for savings:

Amount NOT Spent on Savings = Total Budget - Savings Amount

Amount NOT Spent on Savings = Rs. 10500 - Rs. 1500 = Rs. 9000

Finally, calculate the approximate percentage of the budget NOT spent on savings:

Percentage NOT Spent on Savings = $ \frac{\text{Amount NOT Spent on Savings}}{\text{Total Budget}} \times 100\% $

Percentage NOT Spent on Savings = $ \frac{9000}{10500} \times 100\% $

Percentage NOT Spent on Savings = $ \frac{90}{105} \times 100\% $

Percentage NOT Spent on Savings = $ \frac{6}{7} \times 100\% \approx 85.71\% $

The approximate percentage is 86%.
