2.6+34.4=37

for 5 days 1.06*5=5.3

37-5.3=31.7

now the required saving percentage is (31.7/37)*100=85.6

Man spends parking car for each day is $2.6.
And petrol cost is 34.4
Then total cost is 34.4+2.6=37
Then in public transport per trip is $1.06
Then per day up and down traveliing cost is 2*1.06=$2.12
So,formonday to friday cost is 5*2.12=$7.6
So savings = travelling in car - Travelling in public transport= 37-7.6=29.4.
Persantage of savings is (29.4/37)*100=78.3% which is req ans.
