Question 88941: I know the answer, but I want to know the process of getting there. I would like to know step-by-step of how to get this answer. Here is the problem:


Use the Pie Charts to answer the question. (Since I can't copy and paste the pie charts, I will just list their percentages.


Pie Chart 1:
Total Expenditures:
-Taxes: 17%
-Research & Development: 10%
-Salaries: 38%
-Advertising: 35%


Pie Chart 2:
Expenditures on Advertising:
-Television: 43%
-Newspapers: 36%
-Fliers: 3%
-Radio: 18%


The first pie chart represents a company's expenditures, and the second pie chart shows a breakdown of the company's advertising expenditures. What percent of the company's expenditures is spent on radio advertising?


a) 6.3%
b) 11.7%
c) 18.0%
d) 35.0%
