Question

The pie chart given below shows the expenditure of a family on various items and its savings during a year.Study the pie chart and answer the following questions.How much is the expenditure on food more than that on housing if the total amount with them is 75000?

Answer 1

Given, the expenditure on food is $23$% and on housing is $15$%
$\therefore$ Expenditure on food $=\frac{23}{100}\times Rs75,000=Rs,17,250$
Expenditure on housing $=\frac{15}{100}\times Rs75,000=Rs11,250$
Expenditure on food $-$ expenditure on housing $=Rs,17,250-Rs,11,250=Rs6,000$
$\therefore$ Expenditure on food is $Rs6,000$ more than the expenditure on housing
