What are the words that you found?
Are these items really included in monthly budget of a family?
How is important a budget to a family?

Let us read this problem.

Mrs. Geronimo’s family has a monthly income of PhP25 000.00. She budgeted
their income as shown in the pie graph.

Geronimo's Budgeted Monthly Income

Clothing
8%

Health Food
10% 30%

Electric and
Water Bill
18%
Savings
20%

Transportation
14%

Processing Questions:

1. How much is spent for food?

2. How much is spent for education?
3. How much is the monthly savings?
4. How much do you think is their savings for three months?
5. How many more is spent in electric and water bills than health?
6. What is given the least amount? How much?
7. How much do you think is their savings for three months?

6
 What is It

Let us solve the problem.

a. How much is spent for food?

Since Mrs. Geronimo’s family income has the total amount of PhP25 000.00
and there are 30% budgeted for food we have:

Step 1: Convert 30% to decimal

To convert percent to decimal, divide the percent by 100 and remove

the percent sign to convert from a percent to a decimal.

30
or 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30
100

The shortcut way to convert from a percentage to a decimal is by removing

the percent sign and moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

30. = 0.30

Step 2:
Get 30% percent of PhP25 000.00.
PhP25 000
x 0.30
PhP7 500.00

Answer: They spent PhP7 500 for food.

b. How much is spent for education?

Since 18% =0.18
Then,
PhP25 000
x 0.18
PhP4 500.00

Answer: They spent PhP4 500 for education.

c. How much is the monthly savings?

20%= 0.20
PhP25 000
Answer: The monthly savings is PhP5 000.
x 0.20
PhP5 000.00

7
 d. How much do you think is their savings for three months?
Since they have a monthly savings of PhP5 000 a month, then just multiply
it by 3 months.
PhP5 000
x 3
PhP15 000

Answer: PhP15 000 is their savings for three months.

e. How many more is spent in in electric and water bills than in health?
1. 18% = 0.18
PhP25 000
x 0.18
PhP4 500.00 Answer: Get the difference between the
They spent PhP4 500 for electric money spent for the electric
and water bills. and water bills, and health.
PhP4 500.00
2. 10% = 0.10 – PhP2 500.00
PhP25 000 PhP2 000.00
x 0.10
PhP2 500.00 Therefore, they spent
They spent PhP2 500 for health. PhP2 000 more in electric and
water bills than in health.
f. What is given the least amount? How much?

The least amount given is clothing. It is 8% of the monthly income.

By conversion from percentage to decimal, we get 8% = 0.08

PhP25 000
x 0.08
PhP2 000.00
Answer: They spent PhP2 000 for clothing.

The problem is an example of solving problems using data presented in a pie

graph.

Pie graphs are used to show the percent of a quantity in each of the several
categories. It can also be used to easily visualize the ratio of one category to
another.

A pie graph is also a circle graph that divides a circle into parts; from the
center, which are proportional to the value or quantity it is representing. This type of
graph can be utilized when determining the relationships or percentage of parts to
the whole.

Let’s solve another example on pie graph.

Mrs. Alejandro asked her 60 Grade 6 pupils if they use the Internet during
their modular class and how many hours they spend in using it a day. The pie graph
below shows the results.

Number of Hours Spent Using Internet

During Weekends

10 hours or more
10%

0-3 hours
7-9 hours 30%
20%

4-6 hours
40%

Processing Questions:

a. How many pupils use the Internet for 0-3 hours during weekends?
b. How many pupils use the Internet for at least 7 hours?
c. How many pupils use the Internet for no more than 6 hours?

Let us solve the problem.

a. How many pupils use the Internet for 0-3 hours during weekends?
30% = 0.30
60
x 0.30
18.00
Answer:

There are 18 Grade 6 pupils who are using

Internet for 0-3 hours.

9
b. How many pupils use the Internet for at least 7 hours?

At least 7 hours cover the time usage of 7 hours and above. Based on the
graph, there are two percentages which satisfies this condition: 20% (7-9 hours) and
10% (10 and above hours). To get the exact number of pupils:

=(20% + 10%) x 60
= 30% x 60
= 0.30 x 60
= 18 pupils

Answer: There were 18 pupils who use the Internet for at least 7 hours.

c. How many pupils use the Internet for no more than 6 hours?
No more than 6 hours covers the time 0-6 hours, so:
(30% + 40%) x 60
= 70% x 60
= 0.70 x 60
= 42

Answer: Thus, 42 pupils use the Internet for no more than 6 hours.

Let’s study another pie graph.

A survey was conducted on the subjects that the pupils like most in a school.
A total of 80 pupils participated in the survey. The pie graph shows the result.

Subjects Pupils Like Most

MAPEH,
Araling 10%
Panlipunan, English, 15%
8%

Filipino, 10%
Mathematics,
25%

EPP, 12%

Science, 20%

10
Processing Questions:

1. What percentage of the pupils like English and Science most?

2. What fraction of the pupils like Mathematics most?
3. How many pupils among them like English most?
4. How many pupils like MAPEH than Araling Panlipunan?
5. What subject has the least percentage of pupils? How many?

Solution:

a. What percentage of the pupils like English and Science most?

The question is asking for the percentage of the pupils who like English and
Science most then we need to add the percentage.

For English, it is 15% and for Science is 20%.

15% + 20% = 35%

Answer: There are 35% of the pupils who like English and Science.

b. What fraction of the pupils like Mathematics most?

The graph shows that 25% of the pupils like Mathematics most.
To convert that in a fraction, we have:
25
25%= 0.25 or
100
25 𝟏
100
in lowest term is 𝟒

𝟏
Answer: 𝟒 of the pupils like Mathematics most.

c. How many pupils among them like English most?

Since there are 80 pupils, and English is 15%

80 x 0.15 = 12

Answer: There are 12 pupils who like English most.

d. How many more pupils like MAPEH than Araling Panlipunan?

The graph shows that 10% of the pupils like MAPEH most and 8% of the
pupils like Araling Panlipunan.

We have this solution:

MAPEH 80 x 0.10= 8 pupils
Araling Panlipunan 80 x 0.08 = 6. 4 which when rounded off gives us
6 pupils

11
Step 2: Get the difference between the number of pupils who like MAPEH and
Araling Panlipuna
8 pupils – 6 pupils = 2 pupils

There are 2 more pupils who like MAPEH than Araling Panlipunan.

What’s More

Directions: Answer the following questions using the pie graph.

Mang Melchor is an ice cream vendor. Every day he prepares ice cream to
sell around the 4 Barangays nearest to them. He asked his 280 customers about
their favourite ice cream flavor. The pie graph shows the results in his survey.

What I Can Do

WRITTEN WORK:

Directions: Read the problem below. Your task is to check for errors in the
solutions. If there are errors, do the following in the table after the solutions.

At Jenelyn’s garden, they are selling different kinds of fruit seedlings. She
planted 460 pieces of fruit seedlings with 5 different kinds. The fruit seedlings are
tamarind, calamansi, mango, guava, and pomelo. The pie graph below shows the
number of each fruit seedling planted.

Number of Fruit Seedlings Planted

Tamarind
15% Mango
Calamansi 25%
10%

Guava Pomelo
20% 30%

13
Processing Questions:
1. How many pieces of tamarind seedlings did Jenelyn planted?
2. What fruit seedling is ¼ of the total number of seedlings planted?
3. How many calamansi and guava seedlings did she planted?
4. How much more guava seedlings than tamarind seedlings?
5. What fraction of the fruit seedlings planted the most?
Solution:

1. How many pieces of tamarind seedlings did Jenelyn plant?

Since the given are 460 seedlings, and 15% of it are tamarind then we have:
460 x 0.15
460
x 0.15
2300
+ 460
6 900. (move the decimal point 2 places to the left)

Therefore, Jenelyn planted 69 tamarind seedlings.

2. What fruit seedling is ¼ of the total number of seedlings planted?

The total is 100%, so we have,

15 3
tamarind- 15% or / 20
100

10 1
calamansi- 10% or /
100 10

25 1
mango- 25% or /
100 4

20 1
guava- 20% or /5
100

30 3
pomelo- 30% or 100 / 10

The answer is mango seedlings.

3. How many calamansi and guava seedlings did she plant?

Calamansi is 10% and guava is 20%, we have,

Calamansi 460 x .10 Guava 460 x 0.20
460 460
x 0.10 x 0.20
460.0 Calamansi seedlings 92.0 guava seedlings
460 calamansi seedlings + 92 guava seedlings = 552 calamansi and guava
seedlings
Therefore, there were 552 calamansi and guava seedlings planted by Jenelyn

14
4. How much more mango seedlings than guava seedlings planted?
Mango-25% (percentage of mango seedlings planted)
460 x 0.25
460
x 0.25
2300
+ 920
11500. (move the decimal point 2 places to the left)
Therefore, there are 115 mango seedlings planted
Guava- 20% (percentage of guava seedlings planted)
460
x 0.20
000
920
9200. (move the decimal point 2 places to the left)
Therefore, there are 92 guava seedlings planted

Get the difference between the number of mango and guava seedlings planted:
115 – 92 = 23 seedlings

Answer: There are 23 more mango seedlings than guava seedlings.

5. What fraction of the fruit seedlings planted the most?

3
Since tamarind is 15% and equivalent to in fraction, and it has the greatest
20
3
number in terms of fractions, then tamarind and of the whole fruit seedlings
20
planted the most.
