Answer 2

Final answer: Percentage of increase in expenditure on food = 35 %

Given that: We are given the expenditure on food in a family was  2480 $Rs$ and it increased to 3348 $Rs$.

To find: We have to find percentage increase in expenditure on food.

Explanation:

From the given information:

• The expenditure on food = 2480 $Rs$

So the expenditure on food taken as initial amount.

Initial amount = 2480 $Rs$

• The expenditure on food increased to 3348 $Rs$. Which is taken as final amount.

So final amount = 3348 $Rs$

• We have to calculate increased amount of expenditure on food.

Increased amount = Final amount - Initial amount

                               $=3348-2480=868$ $Rs$

Increased amount = 868 $Rs$

Increased amount of expenditure on food = 868 $Rs$

• Percentage of increase $=\frac{increase amount}{initial amount}$ × $100$

                                                 $=\frac{868}{2480}$ × $100$

                                                 $=0.35$ × $100$

                                                 $=35$

Percentage of increase = 35 %

• Hence, percentage of increase in expenditure on food = 35 %
