1. Determine the percentage of expenditure on Entertainment

The sector for Entertainment has a right angle (90∘90^\circ).
Percentage for Entertainment = 90∘360∘×100%=25%\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 100\% = 25\%.

2. Determine the percentage of expenditure on Books

Total percentage is 100%100\%.
Food is half, which is 50%50\%.
Percentage for Books = 100%−50% (Food)−15% (Transport)−25% (Entertainment)=10%100\% - 50\% \text{ (Food)} - 15\% \text{ (Transport)} - 25\% \text{ (Entertainment)} = 10\%.

3. Find the total expenditure

We know 10%10\% of the total expenditure is $80\char36{}80.
1%1\% of the total expenditure = $8010=$8\frac{\char36{}80}{10} = \char36{}8.
Total expenditure (100%100\%) = $8×100=$800\char36{}8 \times 100 = \char36{}800.

4. Calculate the expenditure on Transport

Expenditure on Transport = 15%15\% of total expenditure.
Transport = 15×$8=$12015 \times \char36{}8 = \char36{}120.
