Directions: The amount spent on different expenditures is shown in the pie chart below.
What is the central angle corresponding to the expenditure spent on Education?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 55.8°.
Let the central angle correspond to the expenditure spent on Education be x
Spend on Education = 5425
Total expenditures = 5250 + 6125 + 7525 + 6475 + 4200 + 5425 = 35000
⇒ 5425/35000 = x/360
⇒ x = (5425 × 360)/35000
⇒ x = 55.8°
