The following bar graph shows the Income and Expenditures (in million US $) of five companies in the year 2001. The percent profit or loss of a company is given by
| % Profit/Loss = | Income - Expenditure | x 100 |
| Expenditure |
Income and Expenditure (in million US $) of five companies in the year 2001.
5.
If the income of Company Q in 2001 was 10% more than its income in 2000 and the Company had earned a profit of 20% in 2000, then its expenditure in 2000 (in million US $) was?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the income of Company Q in 2001 = x million US $.
| Then, income of Company in 2001 = |  |
110 | x x |  |
million US $. |
| 100 |
 |
110x | = 40  x = |
|
400 | |
. |
| 100 | 11 |
| i.e., income of Company Q in 2000 = | |
400 | |
million US $. |
| 11 |
Let the expenditure of Company Q in 2000 be E million US $.
| Then, 20 = | [(400/11) - E] | x 100 | [ %Profit = 20% ] |
| E |
| 20 = |
 |
|
400 | |

x 100 |
| 11E |
| E = |
400 | x | 100 | = 30.30. |
| 11 | 120 |
Expenditure of Company Q in 2000 = 30.30 million US $.

At first, assume the income of company Q in 2000 be x.
Since the income has been increased by 10% in 2001, So income in 2001 will be x + 10% of x = 1.1x.
And in the graph it is given that income in 2001 is 40 so the Equation will be :1.1x =40.
x=40/1.1=36.36.
Here 36.36 is the income of company Q in 2000.
In the question it is given that profit of the company in 2000 is 20%.
Expenditure of company in 2000 =?,
Now, profit=income -expenditure/exp *100
20=36.36 - exp/exp * 100.
Then, exp = 30.30.

Step 1: 20 = (36.36-E /E) * 100.
Step 2: 20*E =[36.36-E] * 100.
Step 3: 20E = 3636-100E.
Step 4: 20E + 100E=3636.
Step 5: 120E = 3636.
Step 6: E = 3636/120 = 30.3.
Step 2: 20*E =[36.36-E] * 100.
Step 3: 20E = 3636-100E.
Step 4: 20E + 100E=3636.
Step 5: 120E = 3636.
Step 6: E = 3636/120 = 30.3.
