Q. 4. Draw a Pie Chart of the monthly expenses
of a hostler, whose expenses per month are as follows:
(Dec. 2001)

|
Solution. Since the total expenditure is
Rs. 5000 (2000 + 1000 + 500 + 500 + 1000) and there
are 360 degrees in a circle, we have to convert the
percentage in degrees.

Draw a Pie Chart of the monthly expenses.
Solution. Since the total expenditure is
Rs. 2300 (100 + 900 + 200 + 300 + 400 + 400) and there
are 360 degrees in a circle, we have to convert the
percentage in degrees.
