Question 6:

Diagram below is a pie chart which shows the proportion of money allocated to five clubs.

The total amount of money allocated to Swimming Club and Squash Club is RM1800.

Calculate the total amount of money allocated to the five clubs.

Solution:

Sum of the angles of the sectors for Swimming Club and Squash Club

= 360^o – 65^o– 85^o – 90^o

= 120^o

Total amount of money allocated to the five clubs

\begin{array}{l} = \frac{360^{o}}{120^{o}} \times R M 1800 \\ = R M 5400 \end{array}
