GIVEN:

Expenditure on food articles = 35%

Expenditure on Buying clothes = 15%

Savings = 40%

Salary = Rs. 27500

FORMULA USED:

Monthly income = Remaining amount / remaining percentage

CALCULATION:

Expenditure on food articles = 35% * 27500

= 9625

Expenditure on Buying clothes = 15% * (27500 - 9625)

= 2681.25

Savings = 40% * (27500 - 9625 - 2681.25)

6077.5

The amount she saves (in Rs.) every month is 6077.5
