Solution
Total Income = ₹ 100
70% expenses = `100xx70/100` = ₹ 70
His saving = (100 − 70) = ₹ 30
∴ Percentage of saving = `30/100xx100` = 30%

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays.
