Let's solve the given problem step-by-step.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
#### a. Draw a pie chart to show this information
1. List of Items and Amounts:
- Rice: 2000 units
- Meat: 1800 units
- Potatoes: 600 units
- Semolina: 1600 units
2. Calculate the total amount spent:
[tex]\[
\text{Total amount} = 2000 + 1800 + 600 + 1600 = 6000 \text{ units}
\][/tex]
3. Data to be used for pie chart:
- Sizes of each pie slice: [2000, 1800, 600, 1600]
- Labels for each pie slice: ['Rice', 'Meat', 'Potatoes', 'Semolina']
Using these values, you can now draw a pie chart. Here's a representation of how you can draw it manually or using any graphing tool:
---
- Rice: 2000 units
- Meat: 1800 units
- Potatoes: 600 units
- Semolina: 1600 units
---
#### b. What percentage was potatoes?
To find the percentage of the total amount spent on potatoes:
1. Amount spent on potatoes: 600 units
2. Total amount spent: 6000 units
3. Calculate the percentage:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage of potatoes} = \left(\frac{600}{6000}\right) \times 100 = 10\%
\][/tex]
Therefore, the percentage spent on potatoes is 10%.
### Summary
- Pie chart representation: You can use the data sizes [2000, 1800, 600, 1600] and labels ['Rice', 'Meat', 'Potatoes', 'Semolina'] to create a visual pie chart showing the spending on each item. Each slice's size will be proportional to the units spent on that item.
- Percentage spent on potatoes: The woman spent 10% of her total expenditure on potatoes.
