The total amount of bonus paid by the company during the given period is approximately what per cent of the total amount of salary paid during this period?

Answer & Solution
Total amount of bonus paid

= Rs. 17 lakh
Total Amount of salary paid
= Rs. (288 + 342 + 324 + 336 + 420) lakh
= Rs. 1710 lakh
∴ Required %
$$\eqalign{ & = \left(\frac{17}{1710}\times100\right)\% \cr & = \frac{170}{171}\% \cr & = 0.99\% \cr & \approx 1\% \cr} $$
3

= Rs. 586 lakh
∴ Required ratio
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{451}{586} \cr & = \frac{1}{1.3} \cr & = \frac{10}{13} \cr & = 10:13 \cr} $$
5
Total expenditure on all these items in 2007 was approximately what per cent of the total expenditure in 2011 ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Total expenditure in 2007
= Rs. (288 + 98 + 3.00 + 23.4 + 83) lakh
= Rs. 495.4 lakh
Total expenditure in 2011
= Rs. (420 + 142 + 3.96 + 49.4 + 98) lakh
= Rs. 713.36 lakh
Let 495.4 = x % of 713.36
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow \frac{x}{100}\times713.36 = 495.4 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{495.40}{713.36}\times100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{12385}{17834}\times100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 69.4\% \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \approx 69\% \cr} $$
