Expenditure on health = 26%
Expenditure on entertainment = 14%
Expenditure on food = 20%
Expenditure on education = 28%
Expenditure on other things = 12%
Formula used:
Percentage of item1 w.r.t item 2 = \({item1\over item2}× 100\:\)
Calculation:
Difference in the expenditure on health and entertainment = 26% - 14% = 12%
The expenditure on food = 20%
Percentage of the expenditure on difference in health and entertainment w.r.t on food = \({12\over 20}\) × 100 = 12 x 5 = 60%
Hence, the difference in the expenditure on health and entertainment is 60% percentage of the expenditure on food.
