Q: In a pie chart showing the distribution of a company's expenses, if 15% is spent on marketing and 25% on salaries, what percentage is spent on other expenses?
Solution: The total percentage spent on marketing and salaries is 15% + 25% = 40%. Therefore, the percentage spent on other expenses is 100% - 40% = 60%.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Identify the percentage spent on marketing, which is 15%.
Step 2: Identify the percentage spent on salaries, which is 25%.
Step 3: Add the percentages from Step 1 and Step 2 together: 15% + 25% = 40%.
Step 4: Subtract the total from Step 3 from 100% to find the percentage spent on other expenses: 100% - 40% = 60%.
