-
What percentage of total expenditure is on electricity?
-
- 23%
- 25%
- 30%
- 20%
Correct Option: D
According to given pie chart in question , Corresponding angle for expenditure on electricity = 72°
Total angle for expenditure = 360°
Total percent for expenditure = 100%
⇒ 360° ≡ 100%
We know that ,
| ∴ Required percent = | × Corresponding angle for expenditure on electricity | Total angle for expenditure |
| ∴ Required percent = 72° ≡ | × 72 = 20% | 360 |
