Question

The following pie-diagram shows the expenditure incurred in the preparation of a book by a publisher, under various heads

If the total amount spent on publishing a book is Rs. 1200/- find the amount spent on printing 3 books.

• A. 1200
• B. 800
• C. 900
• D. 600

Answer 1

The correct option is C

900

: On observing the pie chart we see that the amount spent in printing a book is 25% of the total expenditure.

i.e. 25% of 1200

$0.25\times 1200=300$

The amount spent on printing 3 books =$3\times 300=900$
