(5m)
a) If the total spending was 150 crores, how much money was spent on Fuel?
b) How many times is the amount of money spent on Taxes, compared to the amount
spent on Equipment and other rentals?
c) What is the central angle for the sector corresponding to Modernization?
d) What fraction of the total expenditure is spent on both Fuel and Taxes together?
e) Which two items together make up for almost one-fourth of the total spending?
​

Answer 1

a) Amount spent on fuel=29/100*150 crores=43.5 crores

b)Amount spent on taxes=18/100*150=27 crores

Amount spent on equipment and other rentals=4/100*150=6

Hence, 27/6=4.5 times is the amount spent on Taxes compared to the amount spent on Equipment and other rentals.

c)Central angle for the sector corresponding to Modernization=20/100*360=72°

d)Fraction of the total expenditure is spent on both Fuel and Taxes together=29/100+18/100=47/100

e) 1/4th of the whole pie chart=100*1/4=25%

Two items together make up for almost one-fourth of the total spending are Equipment and other rentals and Modernization as 20%+4%=24% which is the most closest to 25%
