The pie chart shows the cost estimated by a family for the renovation of their house. The total estimated cost is Rs 1,20,000.
The family got a discount of 12% on the estimated cost of furniture, and the actual miscellaneous expenditure was Rs 10,200 instead of the estimated amount. All the other estimates were correct. What was the total amount spent by the family on the renovation?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Rs 1,18,728
Only two heads change, so the actual total is the estimated total with those two estimates replaced by the actual amounts.
Estimated furniture cost \(=13\%\) of \(120000=15600\)
Actual furniture cost after 12% discount \(=88\%\) of \(15600=13728\)
Estimated miscellaneous cost \(=8\%\) of \(120000=9600\); actual \(=10200\)
Actual total \(=120000-15600+13728-9600+10200=118728\)
The family spent Rs 1,18,728.
