The given pie chart shows the monthly savings and expenditure incurred by a family on various items. Study the chart and answer the question given below. If the monthly savings are Rs. 5,000, then the total expenditure on education and clothing is: Correct Answer <span style="color: rgb(77, 81, 86); ">Rs. 14,500</span>

let the total income is Rs.x

10% of x = 5000

⇒ x = (5000 × 100)/10

⇒ x = 50,000

Expenses on education = 20% of 50,000

⇒ 10,000

expenses on clothing = 9% of 50,000

⇒ 4500

∴ Total expenditure on education and clothing is 14,500 i.e. (10,000 + 4500)
