The pie chart represents an expenditure of a production company in a month.
If the difference between the expenditure on Electric bill and Salary is Rs 1600, then find the expenditure on Transport, Marketing together.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
From the pie chart:
- Electric bill = 8%
- Salary = 16%
- Transport = 24%
- Marketing = 32%
Step 1: Find the total expenditure
Difference between Salary and Electric bill:
$16\% - 8\% = 8\%$
Given this difference equals ₹1600.
So, $8\% = 1600$
$100\% = \frac{1600 \times 100}{8} = \text{₹20,000}$
Step 2: Find expenditure on Transport and Marketing together
$24\% + 32\% = 56\%$
$56\% \text{ of } 20,000 = \frac{56}{100} \times 20,000 = \text{₹11,200}$
