The pie chart shows the monthly expenditure pf a public servant. The monthly expenditure on housing is twice that of school fees. How much does the worker spend on housing if his monthly income is N7200?
A
N1000
B
N2000
C
N3000
D
N4000
correct option: b
Let the monthly expenditure on school fees be x let the monthly expenditure on housing be 2x; angle of housing and school fee in a pie chart = 360o - (120o + 90o)

= 360o - 210o = 150o

Angle of housing in a pie-chart = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x 150 = 100

\(\frac{100}{360}\) x 7200 = N2,000
