The sectoral allocations to various ministries in a state budget are as follows:
Agriculture - N25,000,000.00
Education - N20,000,000.00
Women affairs - N35,000,000.00
Commercial and Industries - N20,000,000.00
Use a pie chart to represent this information. The corresponding angle to Agriculture is
A
90\(^0\)
B
72\(^0\)
C
60\(^0\)
D
45\(^0\)
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Total allocation = ₦25m + ₦20m + ₦35m + ₦20m = ₦100,000,000
Fraction for Agriculture = ₦25,000,000 / ₦100,000,000 = 0.25 (or 25%)
Angle for Agriculture = 0.25 \times 360^\circ = 90^\circ
Other sectors:
- Education: (20/100) \times 360^\circ = 72^\circ
- Women Affairs: (35/100) \times 360^\circ = 126^\circ
- Commercial and Industries: (20/100) \times 360^\circ = 72^\circ
