    Miscellaneous expenses by 25% each, what will be their new total monthly expenditure? The pie chart below represents the distribution of a family's monthly expenses (total тВ╣90,000) across five categories: Housing, Food, Transportation, Education, and Miscellaneous. The percentages for each category are as follows:
    A тВ╣81,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B тВ╣84,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C тВ╣85,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D тВ╣83,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Transportation expense = 20% of тВ╣90,000 = тВ╣18,000. Reduced by 25%: тВ╣18,000 ├Ч 0.75 = тВ╣13,500. Miscellaneous expense = 10% of тВ╣90,000 = тВ╣9,000. Reduced by 25%: тВ╣9,000 ├Ч 0.75 = тВ╣6,750. New total expenses = тВ╣90,000 - (тВ╣18,000 - тВ╣13,500) - (тВ╣9,000 - тВ╣6,750) = тВ╣90,000 - тВ╣4,500 - тВ╣2,250 = тВ╣83,250.
