The header of the table clearly says "Items of Expenditure". Hence Salary is added to the total expenditure.

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%.

Guys, I found in most of the comments that why salary is been added expenditure right? Let me help you out as in question all the statistics given are in company's point of view. So, for a company to give (reduces the amount to the company) salaries to its employees becomes expenditure and for employee it is a gain (adds the money) for the work he/she done.

These all are an expenditure of a particular company.
Total of 1998 = 495.4
2002 = 713.36
495.4 / 713.36 * 100
69 something,
Almost 69% answer.
