  1. Question 1

    Q1

    A school library's budget allocation for a year is displayed in the chart below. If the total budget for the year was $45,000, how much more money was allocated for Fiction Books than for Periodicals?

    pie title Library Budget Allocation "Fiction Books" : 40 "Non-Fiction Books" : 35 "Periodicals" : 15 "Digital Media" : 10

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    First, find the percentage difference between Fiction Books (40%) and Periodicals (15%): 40% - 15% = 25%. Then, calculate 25% of the total budget: 0.25 × $45,000 = $11,250. Alternatively, calculate each amount separately: Fiction (0.40 × 45000 = $18,000), Periodicals (0.15 × 45000 = $6,750), and find the difference ($18,000 - $6,750 = $11,250).
