💡 Analysis & Explanation
[Monthly Savings Calculation] ▼
Since the cook spends 60% of her total monthly income, her corresponding monthly savings constitute the remaining 40%.
[Numerical Breakdown] ▼
Calculating 40% of her monthly salary (₹8,400): (40 / 100) × 8400 = 3360. Thus, she saves exactly ₹3,360 every single month.
[Timeframe Conversion] ▼
The problem asks for total savings over 'one-fourth of a year'. Since a full year has 12 months, one-fourth equates to 12 / 4 = 3 months.
[Final Aggregation] ▼
Multiplying the monthly savings by the time period: ₹3,360 × 3 = ₹10,080.
Conclusion ▼
Her accumulated savings over three months will be ₹10,080.
