The given graph represents the percentage distribution of the total expenditure of a company. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.

The total expenditure of the company is how many times the total expenditure on 'Research and Development and 'Salary'?

5.75

Total expenditure = 25 + 17.5 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 15 + 22.5 = 115

Total expenditure on 'Research and Development and 'Salary'

= 5 + 15 = 20

ATQ ,

20 × X = 115

X = \(\frac{115 }{20}\)

= 5.75

So total expenditure of the company is 5.75 times the total expenditure on 'Research and Development and 'Salary' .
