Answers :

  1. (A) 18.33%
  2. (B) 21.65%
  3. (C) about 173.33
  4. (D) i really have no way of finding the angles for you, you could try to find them yourself; or maybe just leave it blank?

OK, so judging from the bar shown :

It looks like Rent takes up 1/3 of the space so 33.33..%

It also looks like Loan Repayment + Savings is another 33.33..% but Savings is slightly larger than Loan Repayment so you could just estimate Savings to be 55% and LR to be 45% of the 1/3 space.

  • 55% of 33.33.. = 18.33%
  • 45% of 33.33.. = 14.99%

LR looks equal to Entertainment making it another 14.99.

It also looks like Entertainment + Electricity + Groceries = the last 33.33..%

And since we know Entertainment = 14.99 / 45% of 33.33..

Making Electricity and Water ABOUT 35% of 33.33... which is 11.66

And Groceries is somehow 20% of 33.33 = 6.66

  • Rent = 33.33..%
  • Savings = 18.33%
  • Loan Repayment 14.99%
  • Entertainment 14.99%
  • Electricity and Water 11.66%
  • Groceries = 6.66%

All of these added together equal ABOUT 100%
