Let the total outflow of funds of Ekart logistics Pvt Ltd in 2022 be 100x
So, value of Wages in 2022 = 30% of 100x = 30x
Also value of Fuel in 2022 = 20% of 100x = 20x
Hence the deficit of outflow under the head of Wages of Ekart logistics Pvt Ltd in 2021 = (12*30x)/100 = 3.6x
The outflow under the head of Fuel of Ekart logistics Pvt Ltd in 2021 remains the same at 20x
Thus total outflow of funds of Ekart logistics Pvt Ltd in 2021 = 100x – 3.6x = 96.4x
Hence, the percentage of Fuel compared to the total outflow of funds in 2021 = (20x*100)/96.4x = 20.75%
