Table 13 shows the price indices of three types of fuel for the year 2008 based on the year 2006.
Diagram 13 shows a pie chart which represents the proportion of fuel used in a factory.

Diesel 150
Petrol 120
Gas 110
Table 13

(a) If the factory spends RM9 000 per week for
diesel in the year 2008, find the
corresponding expenditure for diesel in the
year 2006. [2M]
(c) The expenditure use by the factory is RM30
000 per week in the year 2006. Calculate its
corresponding fuel expenditure in the year
2008.
[2M]
(b) Calculate the composite index for the fuel
expenditure of the factory in the year 2008
based on the year 2006.
[3M]
(d) The price of diesel increases by 30%, the price
of petrol increases by 20% while the price of gas
remains unchanged from the year 2008 to the
year 2010. Calculate the composite index for the
fuel price expenditure of the factory in the year
2010 based on the year 2006.
