Hi
Total Cost = $29,220
Listing the decimal forms in an Excel Worksheet Column, highlighting and Inserting "Chart"
selecting Pie Chart will give a great presentation.
Cannot show that here. These decimals will add up to 1.00 (the whole pie)
tuition fee: 1600/29220 = .055 (rounding to nearest thousandths) OR 5.5% of circle
food: 7200/29200 = .247
transportation: 6720/29220 = .230
Projects/school supplies: 5400/29220 = .185
books: 4800/29220 = .164
others: 3500/29220 = .120
