Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
If the expenditure on advertisement is 2.10 crores then the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is?
A.
Rs. 1.25 crores
B.
Rs. 95 lakhs
C.
Rs. 65 lakhs
D.
Rs. 35 lakhs
Correct answer is D
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 15% of x = 2.10 => x = ( (2.10 x 100)/15 ) = 14
Therefore total expenditure = Rs. 14 crores
and so, the difference between the expenditures on transport and taxes
= Rs. [(12.5 - 10)% of 14] crores
= Rs. [2.5% of 14] crores
= Rs. 0.35 crores
= Rs. 35 lakhs
