Solution:

(3) Let the total spendings on sports be ` x.

Then,

Amount spent on Cricket

= \left( \frac{81}{360} \times x \times \right) = \left( \frac{9}{40} x \right)

Amount spent on Football

= \left( \frac{54}{360} \times x \right) = \left( \frac{3}{20} x \right)

Difference

= \left( \frac{9}{40} x - \frac{3}{20} x \right) = \frac{3}{40} x

∴ Required percentage

= \left[ \left( \frac{ \frac{3x}{40} }{ \frac{9x}{40} } \right) \times 100 \right] \% = 33 \frac{1}{3} \%
