Copy the question here.

question 25


question 25 of this data interpretation question.

Divide the total national health expenditures by the per-capita (which means the expenses per person).

okay thank you . can u help me with this question?

So A goes in and B goes out. So in that case, if x is the rate for B,

2\times 96 - x \times 96 = 64
96(2 - x) = 64
2 - x = \frac{2}{3}
x = \frac{4}{3}

thank you
