Question

Jai’s take-home pay is $2,750.00 per month. He budgets different amounts for his rent, car payment, utilities, food, clothing, and miscellaneous expenses. If Jai wants to display his data on a circle graph, which calculations would be MOST useful?

Select one:

a. differences between amounts budgeted for different purposes

b. percents of the total amount of pay budgeted for different purposes

c. rankings of the purposes the money is budgeted for

d. totals budgeted for combined purposes

Answer 1

b. percents of the total amount of pay budgeted for different purposes

Explanation:

b. percents of the total amount of pay budgeted for different purposes

This would make the most sense because there would be (for example) 20% of his pay budgeted for his car payments, 30% for rent, 10% for food, 10% for clothes, etc. The other options wouldn't really make sense or present meaningful data.
