Question

From the monthly budget of an industrial worker of NOIDA Industrial Area, it was found that the family spent Rs. 600 on food, Rs. 220 on clothing, Rs. 100 on housing, Rs. 50 on comforts, Rs. 20 on education and entertainment and Rs. 10 on miscellaneous items. Construct a pie-diagram.

Answer 1

We need to get the total expenditure.

Total expenditure equals :

600 + 220 + 100 + 50 + 20 + 10 = 1000

On a pie chart this is represented by :

1000 = 360°

Lets get angle representation for each.

Food = 600/1000 × 360° = 216°

Clothing = 220/1000 × 360 = 79.20°

Housing = 100/1000 × 360 = 36°

Comfort = 50/1000 × 360 = 18°

Education = 20/1000 × 360 = 7.20°

Miscellaneous = 10/1000 × 360 = 3.60°

Now you can draw a pie chart with the above angle representations.
