The following pie diagram shows the amounts that a family spends on: food, clothing, rent and miscellaneous expenditure and savings. If the monthly income of the family is 60,000, then monthly savings are: Correct Answer 6,000

Given:

Monthly income of family = Rs. 60000

Concept used:

Monthly savings = Total income × (Angle of savings in pie chart)/360°

Calculation:

Angle of savings in pie chart = 360° – (Sum of others angle)

⇒ Angle of savings = 360° – (72° + 72° + 72° + 108°)

⇒ Angle of savings = 360° – 324°

⇒ Angle of savings = 36°

Monthly savings = Total income × (Angle of savings in pie chart)/360°

⇒ Monthly savings = 60000 × 36°/360°

⇒ Monthly income = 60000 × 1/10

⇒ Monthly income = 6000

∴ The monthly savings is Rs. 6000.
