The expenditure by A on travelling constitutes approximately what percent of the salary of F?
A30
B38
C32
D34 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 34
Explanation
A's travel spending is about 34 percent of F's salary, so the answer is 34.
A spends 26070 on travelling.
F's monthly income of 87400 includes a 15 percent incentive on salary.
So F's salary is 87400 divided by 1.15, which is 76000.
26070 as a percentage of 76000 is about 34 percent.
So A's travel is about 34 percent of F's salary.
So the answer is 34.
