    1. 65 %
    2. 70 %
    3. 75 %
    4. 80 %


Answer: (d) 80 %

Solution: Total expenditure in 2017 = 600 + 2200 + 500 + 180 + 180 = $ 3,660

Total expenditure in 2019 = 750 + 2800 + 600 + 210 + 220 = $ 4,580

Required Percentage $$ = \frac{3660}{4580} \times 100 $$ $$ = 79.91 \ \% $$ $$ \approx 80 \ \% $$

  1. What is the average amount of interest which the man had to pay each year?

    1. $ 210

Answer: (a) $ 210

Solution: The total interest on loans, the man paid over all the years together = 200 + 220 + 180 + 240 + 210 = $ 1,050

The average amount of interest the man had to pay.$$ = \frac{1050}{5} $$ $$ = $ 210 $$

Answer: (c) 81 %

Solution: The total amount spent on house rent = 400 + 450 + 500 + 550 + 600 = $ 2500

The total amount spent on transport = 500 + 550 + 600 + 680 + 750 = $ 3080

Required Percentage $$ = \frac{2500}{3080} \times 100 $$ $$ = 81.16 \ \% $$ $$ = 81 \ \% $$
