Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate total expenditure in 2006.
- Salary = 225
- Fuel and transport = 98
- Bonus = 4.25
- Interest on loan = 29.7
- Taxes = 110
Total (2006) = 225 + 98 + 4.25 + 29.7 + 110 = 466.95 lakh rupees

Step 2: Calculate total expenditure in 2009.
- Salary = 295
- Fuel and transport = 145
- Bonus = 6.25
- Interest on loan = 49.6
- Taxes = 118
Total (2009) = 295 + 145 + 6.25 + 49.6 + 118 = 613.85 lakh rupees

Step 3: Calculate the percentage of 2006 expenditure with respect to 2009 expenditure.
Percentage = (466.95 / 613.85) * 100 = 76.07%

Hence, the total expenditure in 2006 is 76.07% of the total expenditure in 2009.
