A.$ 69,000
B. $90,000 C.$ 150,000
D. $185,000 E.$ 240,000

Division A's percent of total income exceeded its percent of total expenses by 38%-35%=3%;
Division B's percent of total income did not exceeded its percent of total expenses, 12%-26%=-14%;
Division C's percent of total income exceeded its percent of total expenses by 20%-14%=6%;
Division D's percent of total income exceeded its percent of total expenses by 30%-25%=5%;

Since division C's difference is the greatest then we should calculate the amount of this difference in $: 0.20*1,560,000-0.14*495,000=~240,000.

Since this problem has quite confusing wording and after you get through it you should calculate approximate value of 0.20*1,560,000-0.14*495,000=~0.20*1,600,000-0.15*500,000=320,000-75,000=245,000 then I'd say that 2 minutes is not that long, after all. _________________ Math Expert Joined: 02 Sep 2009 Posts: 36548 Followers: 7077 Kudos [?]: 93108 [0], given: 10552 Re: With respect to the division whose percent of total income [#permalink] ### Show Tags 18 Jun 2013, 00:41 Bumping for review and further discussion*.
