    Question

    The given pie diagram shows how a student spent his pocket money amounting to ₹3,500 during the course of a month.

    How much more money (in ₹) did he spend on food as compared with what he spent on entertainment?  

    A.

    875

    B.

    700

    C.

    1,050

    D.

    525

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Total pocket money: ₹3,500
    Percentage of amount spent on food = 50%
    Percentage of amount spent on entertainment = 20% 
    Formula Used:
    Amount spent in a category=(Percentage100)×Total money\text{Amount spent in a category} = \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right) \times \text{Total money}   
    Solution:   
    As we know, the expenditure percentage on food is higher than entertainment.
    difference between percentage of food and entertainment = 50 - 20 = 30%   
    Now,  30100×3500=1050\frac{30}{100}\times 3500 = ₹1050    
    Thus, Student spent ₹1050 more on the food as compared to entertainment.
