A country’s budget allocation to various sectors of the economy is shown in the pie chart .
If the budget of the country was $7,200.00, how much is allocated to education?
-
$2,400.00
- $2,000.00
- $1,200.00
- $1,000.00
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
To calculate the budget on education, let x represent the budget on education
Total budget = $7,200
Expenditure on education = x/$7200 × 3600 = 1200
3600x = 1200 × $7200
x = 1200 × $7200/3600
x = $2,400
Therefore, the budget allocated to education is $2,400
