In the given bar graph, the first bar shows the income and the second bar shows the expenditure of a company. Study the graph and answer the question that follows. The expenditure from 2001 to 2002 is decreased by what percentage? Correct Answer 25%
Formula Used:
Percentage decrease = (x1 - x2)/x1 × 100
x1 → Original number
x2 → New number
Calculation:
Expenditure in 2001 = 20 lakhs
Expenditure in 2002 = 15 lakhs
Decrement = 20 - 15 = 5 lakhs
∴ Required percentage = (5/20) × 100 = 25%
