Let 100x units be the total number of vehicles that crossed Dankuni Toll Plaza on the 3rd October 2022. 

Toll amount collected from 4/5 – axle Trucks = 100x*(21/100)*455 = Rs 9555x

Toll amount collected from Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) = 100x*(18/100)*140 = Rs 2520x

The amount of percentage more = (9555x – 2520x)*100/2520x = 279.17%

Hence, on the 3rd October 2022, the amount collected from 4/5 – axle Trucks at the Dankuni Toll Plaza, was 279% more than the amount collected from Light Commercial Vehicles
