1. Determine the percentage of the total represented by sector C.

Sector C has a right angle (90∘90^\circ), so it represents 90360×100%=25%\frac{90}{360} \times 100\% = 25\%.

2. Find the percentage difference between item D and item C.

Percentage difference = 35%−25%=10%35\% - 25\% = 10\%

3. Determine the value of 1% of the total pocket money.

Since 10%10\% represents $30\char36{}30,
1%1\% represents $30÷10=$3\char36{}30 \div 10 = \char36{}3.

4. Calculate the percentage for item B.

Sector A also has a right angle, so it is 25%25\%.
Percentage for B = 100%−25% (A)−25% (C)−35% (D)=15%100\% - 25\% \text{ (A)} - 25\% \text{ (C)} - 35\% \text{ (D)} = 15\%

5. Calculate the amount spent on item B.

Amount for B = 15×$3=$4515 \times \char36{}3 = \char36{}45
