A) 209

B) 76

C) 154

D) 42

E) 218

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Percentage Break-up of expenditure is:

Investments → $\left(\frac{54}{360}\times100\right)$ % = 15%

Commuting → $\left(\frac{79.2}{360}\times100\right)$% = 22%

Shopping → $\left(\frac{68.4}{360}\times100\right)$% = 19%

Groceries → $\left(\frac{82.8}{360}\times100\right)$% = 23%

Medicines → $\left(\frac{39.6}{360}\times100\right)$% = 11%

Entertainment → $\left(\frac{36}{360}\times100\right)$% = 10%

Amount spent on Groceries, Entertainment and Investments

= $\left(\frac{23+10+15}{100}\times45800\right)$=$\left(\frac{48}{100}\times45800\right)$

Amount spent on Commuting

= $\left(\frac{22}{100}\times45800\right)$

Required percentage 

= $\left\{\frac{\frac{48}{100}\times45800}{\frac{22}{100}\times45800}\times100\right\}$%

=$\frac{2400}{11}$% = 218.18% = 218%
