The pie chart shows the allocation of money to each sector in a farm. The total amount allocated to the farm is ₦ 80 000. Find the amount allocated to fertilizer
-
A.
₦ 35, 000 -
B.
₦ 40,000 -
C.
₦ 25,000 -
D.
₦ 20,000
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Total angle at a point = 3600
∴ To get the angle occupied by fertilizer we have,
40 + 50 + 80 + 70 + 30 + fertilizer(x) = 360
270 + x = 360
x = 360 – 270
x = 90
Total amount allocated to the farm
= ₦ 80,000
∴Amount allocated to the fertilizer
= (frac{text{fertilizer (angle) × Total amount}}{text{total angle}})
= (frac{90}{360}) × 80,000
= ₦20,000
