First of all, read the question and than solve it:

X is what percent of Y --> (X/Y)*100.

Explanation:

Try to sort it out from the leftmost end.

Total amount of bonus paid by the company during the given period
-->3.00+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96 = 17.00.

Total amount of salary paid during this period
-->288+342+324+336+420 = 1710.

Now come to the right most end.

Total amount of bonus paid by the company during the given period
-->3.00+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96 = 17.00.

Come to the middle part of the question joining the first two questions. It clarifies as 17.00 is what percent of 1710?

Problem solved:

--> (17/1710)*100 ~ 1%.

During this period means during the entire period shown in the table i.e., from 1998 to 2002.

Thankyou and keep practicing.

It's very simple. Understand the question first.

Hint: X is what percent of Y --> (X/Y)*100.

@Narendra Reddy.

During this period means during the entire period shown in the table i.e., from 1998 to 2002.

Instead of considering the summation of Bonus and Summation of Salary, Considering the Bonus and Salary for individual year would be a wise move and would consume less time.

For Eg:

Considering the Year 1998, Bonus is 3.00 and Salary is 288 Lakhs Respectively

3*(100)/288 = 1.04 % approximately 1%.

Let,

Total bonus = x% of salary.

=> 17 = 1710 (x%).
=>17 = 1710 (x/100).

Now solving for x,

x = 1700/1710 = 0.99 = 1% (approximately).

Let,
Total Bonus = x% of salary.
17 = 1710 (x%).
17 = 1710 (x/100).

Now, solving for x,
x = 1700/1710 = 0.99 = 1% (approximately).

The total bonus is what % of total salary.
Total salary* (x/100)= total bonus.
1710* (x/100)= 17.
x/100=17/1710.
x=(17/1710 )*100.
1%.

This method is too long. And calculating is also very deep.
There is no shortcut avilable to get the answer in short time.

(Total Bonus during the given period)
______________________________________ * 100
(Total Salary during the given period)

Easy way,

Take the highest & lowest values in the table,

= (3.96+2.52)/(420+288)*100.
= 6.48/708 * 100.
= 0.9 ~ 1.

Total bonus equal to total salary.

I.e Salary given in hundreds but bonus is actual that's why we can multiply 100.
