Correct Option: B
Let the monthly expenditure angle for school fees is x,
This implies that housing will be 2x.
Recall that angle in the circle is 360.
Using 90 as the angle for transport,
x + 2x + 120 + 90 = 360
3x + 210 = 3605
3x = 360 - 210
= 150
x = \(\frac{150}{3}\) = 50
So the angle for housing is 2x = 2 × 50
= 100
Amount spent on housing = \(\frac{100}{360}\) × 7200
= ₦2000
