Study the given table and answer the question that follows. The table shows the income and expenditure of companies A and B from 2015 to 2019 (in Rs. crore). Year Company A Company B Income Expenditure Income Expenditure 2015 110 90 160 120 2016 150 125 180 125 2017 200 140 225 140 2018 240 175 320 275 2019 300 220 360 300 40% of the total expenditure of company B from 2015 to 2019 is what per cent less than 65% of the total income of company A from 2015 to 2018? (correct to one decimal place)
15.6%
The correct answer is 15.6%.
This explicitly tells us that Value 2 is the base for comparison. The formula is \frac{\text{Value 2 - Value 1}}{\text{Value 2}} \times 100\%. In our case, we calculated 40% of Company B's expenditure (Value 1) and 65% of Company A's income (Value 2). We then found how much Value 1 is less than Value 2 as a percentage of Value 2.
