According to given bar graph , we have
Given , The expenditure on advertisement = 2.10 million
Percentage of the expenditure on advertisement = 15%
Percentage of the expenditure on taxes = 10%
Percentage of the expenditure on transport = 12.5%
Difference in percentage for expenditure on transport and taxes = 12.5 – 10 = 2.5%
∵ 15 % = $ 2.10 millionCorrect Option: B
According to given bar graph , we have
Given , The expenditure on advertisement = 2.10 million
Percentage of the expenditure on advertisement = 15%
Percentage of the expenditure on taxes = 10%
Percentage of the expenditure on transport = 12.5%
Difference in percentage for expenditure on transport and taxes = 12.5 – 10 = 2.5%
∵ 15 % = $ 2.10 million∴ 2.5% = 2.10 × 2.5 = $ 0.35 billion 15
Required answer = $ 35 million

From the given bar diagram , we see
The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport = 20 + 12.5 = 32.5
The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans = 10 + 17.5 = 27.5
Required ratio = The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport : The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loansCorrect Option: D
From the given bar diagram , we see
The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport = 20 + 12.5 = 32.5
The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans = 10 + 17.5 = 27.5
Required ratio = The total expenditure on infrastructure and transport : The total expenditure on taxes and interest on loans
∴ Required ratio = 32.5 : 27.5 = 13 : 11

On the basis of given graph in question ,
The expenditure on the interest on loans = 17.5
The expenditure on transport = 12.5
Change in expenditure = 17.5 - 12.5 = 5Required percent = Change in expenditure × 100 The expenditure on transport Required percent = 5 × 100 12.5
Correct Option: D
On the basis of given graph in question ,
The expenditure on the interest on loans = 17.5
The expenditure on transport = 12.5
Change in expenditure = 17.5 - 12.5 = 5Required percent = Change in expenditure × 100 The expenditure on transport Required percent = 5 × 100 12.5 Required percent = 500 = 40% 12.5

According to given bar graph , we have
Number of girls ate more than two servings but less than six servings per day are 10 , 8 and 5 .Correct Option: C
According to given bar graph , we have
Number of girls ate more than two servings but less than six servings per day are 10 , 8 and 5 .
So , Required number of girls = 10 + 8 + 5 = 23
- What percent of these girls ate six or more servings per day?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
As per the given bar graph , we have
Number of girls who ate six or more servings per day = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
Total number of girls = 72∴ Required percentage = Number of girls who ate six or more servings per day × 100 Total number of girls
Correct Option: A
As per the given bar graph , we have
Number of girls who ate six or more servings per day = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
Total number of girls = 72∴ Required percentage = Number of girls who ate six or more servings per day × 100 Total number of girls ∴ Required percentage = 9 × 100 = 25 = 12.5% 72 2
