The given pie chart shows the cost estimated by a family in renovation of their house. The total estimated cost of renovation is Rs 120,000. Study the following pie chart carefully and answer the questions below.
The family gets a discount on furniture and pays 12% less than the estimated cost on furniture. What is the amount spent on furniture?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
From the pie chart:
- Furniture = 13% of the total estimated cost.
- Total estimated cost = ₹1,20,000
Estimated cost of furniture:
$13\% \times 120000 = \frac{13}{100} \times 120000 = \text{₹}15,600$
The family gets a 12% discount, so they pay 88% of the estimated cost.
Amount spent on furniture:
$88\% \times 15600 = \frac{88}{100} \times 15600 = \text{₹}13,728$
