Given the table, if the total budget of the country to be 100 million naira, what is the ratio of expenditure on manufacturing to agriculture?

A
1:2
B
3:2
C
2:1
D
2:3
correct option: a

Total budget = N100,000,000

  Portion of pie chart covered in degree = 360

  Expenditure on manufacturing = x/N100,000,000 × 3600 = 360

  3600x = 360 × N100,000,000

  x = 360×N100,000,000/3600

  x=N10,000,000

  Therefore, the budget allocated to Manufacturing is N10,000,000

  Total budget = N100,000,000

  Portion of pie chart covered in degree = 720

  Expenditure on Agriculture = x/N100,000,000 × 3600 = 720

  3600x = 720 × N100,000,000

  x = 720 × N100,000,000/3600

  x = N20,000,000

  budget allocated to Agriculture is N20,000,000

  Ratio of expenditure on Manufacturing to Agriculture;

  Ratio = 10,000,000:20,000,000

  =1:2
