shouldn't it be like this?
(salary + bonus - fuel&transport - interest - taxes).
= ((288+3-98-23.4-83) / ( 420+3.96-142-49.4-98) ) *100 = 64.35%.
(salary + bonus - fuel&transport - interest - taxes).
= ((288+3-98-23.4-83) / ( 420+3.96-142-49.4-98) ) *100 = 64.35%.

Better to by approximation method such as we have,
495.4/713.36*100=495400/713360*100=49540/71336*100.
49540 app = 50000.
71336 app = 70000.
Hence 50000/70000*100 = 5/7*100 = 70% approx answer near to 69%.
495.4/713.36*100=495400/713360*100=49540/71336*100.
49540 app = 50000.
71336 app = 70000.
Hence 50000/70000*100 = 5/7*100 = 70% approx answer near to 69%.

Division with decimal will be critical so try to remove decimal like for example
495.4/713.36*100
=4954000/71336
as we have >60% in option
71336*6=428016
71336*7=499352
Hence answer will be app 69%
495.4/713.36*100
=4954000/71336
as we have >60% in option
71336*6=428016
71336*7=499352
Hence answer will be app 69%
