If the monthly expenditures of both families are combined together then the expenditure on Entertainment of both families together will be what percentage of the total monthly expenditures of both families ? Express your answer to the nearest integer.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Monthly expenditure of A & B together = \(\frac{1}{10}\) × 50000 + \(\frac{3}{25}\) × 75000
= 5000 + 9000 = 14000
Required percentage = \(\frac{14000}{125000}\) × 100
= 11.2 %
= 11% ( nearest integer )
