Refer the below data table and answer the following Question.

What was the revenue of the company if its expenditure was Rs 550 crore in the year when its % profit was the least?

Solution:

Profit % was least in 2011 = 5%
Let revenue = Rs.x crore and expenditure = Rs. 550 crore
⇒ Profit % =

{x− 550 }/550 × 100 = 5

⇒

{x− 550 }/550 =5/100=1/20

⇒

x − 550 = 550 /20 =27.5

⇒

x=550+27.5=577.5
