In Question, it is given that expenditures of a "COMPANY".
Note:
COMPANY gives salary to its employees.
In real life COMPANY doesn't take a salary, it only takes a profit.
People ask employees "How much salary does the company give?"
People ask "How much is the Companies turnover?"
Have you ever heard people asking "How much salary does the company earn?"
So, thinking "Salary is one of the expenditures of a company" makes sense right?

1998 Total expenses 495.5.
2002 Total expenses 713.36.
Let's take;
713.36 is 100%.
356.68 is 50%.
71.336 is 10%.
142.67 is 20%.
Add 50%+ 20% both value, we will get 499.35 is 70%.
Then 69 % is Answer.

The total expenditure in 1998 is;
= (98+3+23.4+83)÷5 = 207.4.
The total expenditure in 2002 is;
= ( 142+3.96+49.4+98)÷5= 293.36.
So % of 1998 to 2002 is given as;
=(207.4÷293.36) * 100,
= 70.69%.
So it's approximately 71%.
Therefore, option D is right.
= (98+3+23.4+83)÷5 = 207.4.
