Question:

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?

Options:

Rs 13,200

Rs 14,526

Rs 13,728

Rs 13,526

Correct Answer:

Rs 13,728

Explanation:

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:

$88\% \times 15600 = \frac{88}{100} \times 15600 = \text{₹}13,728$
