According to problem you need to compare expenditure of 1998 and 2002.
=>Expenditure consists of Salary+fuel and transport+bonus+interest on loan+transport.
1998 expenditure= 288+98+3.00+23.4+83.
2002 expenditure= 420+142+3.96+49.4+98.
1998 expenditure= 495.4.
2002 expenditure= 713.36.
So, 495.4/713.36*100.
=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%
