Question 75
If the expenditure of company A in 2018 and 2020 was the same, then what was the
ratio of the incomes of the company in 2018 and 2020, respectively?
Solution
Profit % =Â $$\frac{Income\ -\ Expenditures}{Expenditures}\times\ 100$$.
Profit % of A for 2018 and 2020 is 40 and 35 respectively.
We will assume the expenditure to be 1 and calculate Income for both years using the stated formula.
Incomes for 2018 and 2020 will be $$\frac{100}{140}\ and\ \frac{100}{135}$$ respectively.
Their ratio will be 28:27.
