Expenditude last month

= 8000 + 3200 + 1500

= $12 700

So, expenditude this month

= 12 700 X (1 + 10%)

= $13 970

New expenditure on rent

= 8000 X (1 + 5%)

= $8400

New expenditure on food

= 3200 X (1 - 12%)

= $2816

Therefore, expenditure on others this month

= 13 970 - 8400 - 2816

= $2754

So, percentage change

= (New - old) / old X 100%

= (2754 - 1500) / 1500 X 100%

= 83.6%

let x be the new expenditure on others,
8000x(1+5%) +3200x(1-12%) + x = (8000+3200+1500)x(1+10%)
8400 + 2816+ x = 13970
x =2754
percentage change in the expenditure on 'others:
(1- (2754 - 1500)/ 1500 )x100%
= (1 - 0.836 )x100%
=16.4
new expenditure on others decreases by 16.4%
