40) Suppose your family spent $54,000 on the
items in the graph above. How much might we
expect was spent on other?
A) $2700.00
$4725.00
B) $5400.00
D) $4050.00

Answer 1

B) $5400.00

Explanation:

From the pie chart we see that the share of "other" expenses is 1/10 of the total expenses

So amount spent on "Other" would be 1/10 of the total expenditure

= 1/10 x $54000

= $5,400
