Answer / dinu

More descriptive way :-

The computer centre spends 3/4 of 1440 (ie,1080/-)for heavy duty tapes.

That means they are spending 360/- (ie,1440-1080) for regular tapes.

With 1080 Rs they can buy 36 units (ie,1080/30)
With 360 Rs they can buy 15 units (ie,360/24)

Again with the new prices :

To buy 36 units : 36*28= 1008
To buy 15 units : 15*23= 345
Total=1353

How much will they save a month under the new prices?

Ans= 1440-1353 = 87

Total Expenditure on tapes=Rs.1440

Total Expenditure on heavy duty tapes=3/4*1440=Rs.1080
Total reels of heavy duty tape=1080/30=36
Total savings on heavy duty tape=36*(30-28)=Rs.72

Total Expenditure on regular tapes=1/4*1440=Rs.360
Total reels of regular tape=360/24=15
Total savings on regular tape=15*(24-23)=Rs.15

Total Savings=Rs.72+Rs.15=Rs.87
