We can solve it in a very simple way as follows:
Expenses in FUEL & TRANS is how much increased to that of expenses in TAXES.
We can find the increase in percentage like this->
586-451/451 x 100% = 30%.
i.e 100/130 = 10/13 or 10:13.

I'm not getting how to calculate the ratio 451/586?
Aparna said:

See here 586 is divided by 451, we get 1/1.29
Which is approx. 1/1.3
Thats all but consumes some time.

Consider single year(1998) taxes and fuel, expenditure and calculate the ratio between them.
Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.
98:83 = 98/83 = 10/13.
Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.
98:83 = 98/83 = 10/13.

@Sonam its simple.
We just need to multiply numerator and denominator by 10 so as to eliminate the decimal. We need fraction as a whole number.
1*10/1.3*10 = 10/13.
