Question : 69

Total: 85

Given the table, if the total budget of the country to be 100 million naira, what is the ratio of expenditure on manufacturing to agriculture?

Solution:

Concept:

Budget allocation in a pie chart is proportional to the sector angle, with the total angle equal to

360^\circ

Explanation:

From the chart, Manufacturing has a sector angle of

36^\circ

and Agriculture has a sector angle of

72^\circ

Total budget

= N100,000,000

Expenditure on Manufacturing

=\frac{36^\circ}{360^\circ}\times N100,000,000 = N10,000,000

Expenditure on Agriculture

=\frac{72^\circ}{360^\circ}\times N100,000,000 = N20,000,000

Thus, the ratio of Manufacturing to Agriculture is

N10,000,000 : N20,000,000 = 1:2

Answer:

1:2
