Question 592994: You spend 1/4 for tickets, 1/2 for parking. You have $18 left over. How much money did you start with? Teacher wants it to be figured out by pie chart. Help Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The whole pie would be the amount you started with
Draw a line through the center and label half of the
pie as "parking"
Now divide the other 1/2 of a pie into 2 equal parts
Label 1/2 as "tickets"
Label the other half as $18
--------------------
Now you can see that "tickets" has to
equal $18 also, and "parking" must be
$18 + $18 = $36
So, the whole pie is $18 + $18 + $36 = $72
which is what you started with.
