Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company
2.
If the expenditure on advertisement is 2.10 crores then the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the total expenditure be Rs. x crores.
Then, 15% of x = 2.10  x = |
 |
2.10 x 100 |  |
= 14. |
| 15 |
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

I.e 15% = 2.10,
15/100= 2.10,
Cross multiply.
100 * 2.10=15%,
210=15%,
Divide by 15,
%= 14.
15/100= 2.10,
Cross multiply.
100 * 2.10=15%,
210=15%,
Divide by 15,
%= 14.
