Percentage Distribution of Total Expenditure of a Company

Q1:

The expenditure on the interest on loans is by what percent more than the expenditure on transport?

A 5%

B 10%

C 20%

D 40%

ANS:D - 40%

Let the total amount of expenditures be Rs. x.

Then, the expenditure on interest on loans = Rs. (17.5% of x) = Rs. ( 17.5 x )
100
and the expenditure on transport = Rs. (12.5% of x) = Rs. ( 12.5 x ) .
100
Therefore Difference between the two expenditures
= Rs. ( 17.5x - 12.5x )
100 100
= Rs. ( 5x )
100
and so, the required percentage = ( 5x/100 x 100 ) % = 40%.
12.5x/100
