Given:

Companies Saving Expenditure
J 400 200
K 900 500
L 700 400
M 400 300
N 500 1100
 

 

Calculation:

Total savings = Sum of savings for all companies

Total savings = 400 + 900 + 700 + 400 + 500 = 2900

Total expenditure = Sum of expenditure for all companies

Total expenditure = 200 + 500 + 400 + 300 + 1100 = 2500

Percentage difference = ((Total savings - Total expenditure)/Total savings) × 100

Percentage difference = ((2900 - 2500)/2900) × 100

Percentage difference = (400/2900) × 100

Percentage difference ≈ 13.79%

Therefore, the total expenditure of all the companies is approximately 13.79% less than the total savings.
