Calculation:

As the given data in bar graph shows the ratio of expenditure to revenue for seven consecutive years

Revenue for year Y4 = Rs. 22500

For Y4, the ratio of expenditure to revenue = 0.9

Ratio of Expenditure to Revenue = 0.9 = 9 : 10

Let expenditure be Rs. 9x and Revenue be Rs. 10x

FORMULA USED:

Profit percentage = [(Revenue – Expenditure)/Expenditure] × 100

Calculations:

According to question,

⇒ 10x = 22500

⇒ x = 2250

⇒ Profit = Revenue - Expenditure

⇒ Profit = = Rs. 10x - Rs. 9x

⇒ Profit = = Rs. x

⇒ Profit = Rs. 2250

∴ The profit for year Y4 is Rs. 2250.

Important Points In this question we have provided the ratio of expenditure to revenue

Case 1 Y4

⇒ Expenditure/Revenue = 0.9

⇒ Expenditure/Revenue = 9/10

It means the numerator part is an expenditure, and the denominator part is revenue.

Profit = Revenue - Expenditure
