If the total income of the family for the year 2009 was 1,50,000 then the difference between the expenditures on housing and transport was :
-
- $ 15,000
- $ 10,000
- $ 12,000
- $ 7,500
Correct Option: A
As per given graph , we can see that
Expenditure on housing = 15%
Expenditure on transport = 5%
As given in the question,
Total income of the family for the year 2009 = $ 1,50,000
∴ Difference = Total income × ( Expenditure on housing − Expenditure on transport )
∴ Difference = 150000 × (15% − 5%)
| ∴ Difference = 150000 x | 10 | = $15000 |
| 100 | ||
