If the wages & salaries cost was £814,995 in the first half of the year, and if the total 
expenditure
increased by 10% in the second half of the year, what would be the wages & salaries expenditure
in the second half?

 

Correct answer: C

45% of x = 814,995, where x is the total expenditure in the first half of the year x = 1,811,100
A 10% increase = 1.1 x 1,811,100 = 1,992,210
% of wages and salary in second half = 43% wages and salary = 0.43 x 1,992,210
