Question

The pie chart represents the proportions of how Henry spent the £720 he took on holiday.

What fraction of his money did he spend on drink?
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

£124

Explanation:

first of all, you're meant to add all the figures given on the pie chart, which is 29+137+58+62+74 and that will give you a total of 360 degrees

so, you say 360 degrees is equal to the total amount of money he spent, which is £720, what about 62 degrees

therefore, you just do (62×720)÷360

that will give you £124
