Let the total budget allocated for education be x
Therefore, total budget allocated for Healthcare = 1.5x
(70/100) x + (60/100) × 1.5x = 7040 ⇒ x = 4400 crore
Total budget allocated for Healthcare in 2018-19 = 1.5 × 4400 = 6600 crore
Total budget allocated for all sectors = 31500 crore
Percentage = (6600/31500) × 100 = 20.95%
