Question 150

The pie - chart gives the expenditure (in percentage) on various items and savings of a family during a month. Monthly savings of the family is 3,000. On which item is the expenditure maximum and how much is it ?

Solution

Monthly savings = 3000

% savings = 15%

=> Total expenditure = $$\frac{3000}{15}$$ * 100 = 20,000

Now, expenditure on :

House rent = $$\frac{10}{100}$$ * 20,000 = 2,000

Transport = $$\frac{5}{100}$$ * 20,000 = 1,000

Others = $$\frac{20}{100}$$ * 20,000 = 4,000

Clothes = $$\frac{10}{100}$$ * 20,000 = 2,000

Education = $$\frac{15}{100}$$ * 20,000 = 3,000

Food = $$\frac{25}{100}$$ * 20,000 = 5,000 [MAX]

=> Expenditure on food is maximum = 5,000
