If the expenditure on advertisement is ₹2.1 crore, what is the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Given that the expenditure on advertisement is ₹2.1 crore, which corresponds to 15% of the total expenditure.

Step 2: Calculate the total expenditure (T):
15% of T = 2.1 crore
=> (15/100) * T = 2.1 crore
=> T = 2.1 crore * (100/15) = 2.1 * (100/15) = 2.1 * (20/3) = 14 crore

Step 3: Calculate expenditure on transport (12.5% of total):
Transport = 12.5% of 14 crore = (12.5/100) * 14 = 1.75 crore

Step 4: Calculate expenditure on taxes (10% of total):
Taxes = 10% of 14 crore = (10/100) * 14 = 1.4 crore

Step 5: Find the difference between expenditure on transport and taxes:
Difference = 1.75 crore - 1.4 crore = 0.35 crore = ₹35 lakh

Therefore, the difference between the expenditure on transport and taxes is ₹35 lakh.
