Do not understand where the 1.2 came from.

1.2 is the same as 120%. So multiplying by 1.2 gives you the new expenditure, which is 20% more than the previous month

Since an increase of expenditure by 20% causes a reduce in savings by 10%, this means that 20% of savings is equal to 10% of savings. Using the expenditure given in the question, find 20% of that to get 10% of savings. Continue by finding the full savings and then add the 2 to get the salary.
