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.

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?

I got the answer in easy way,
It is
(495.4/713.36)*100 = 49540/713.36
Now simply go by option they are 62 66 69 71
Multiply 713.36 by each option which ever closer to numerator 49540 that will be answer.
In this case
713.36*69=49221.84 which is closer to 49540 so 69 is the 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.
