(ii) What is the difference in kilograms between the highest production and the lowest production in the three years.
b) (i) Using a radius of 5 cm, draw a pie chart to represent production of 2017.
| Division | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|

(ii) What is the difference in kilograms between the highest production and the lowest production in the three years.
b) (i) Using a radius of 5 cm, draw a pie chart to represent production of 2017.
Answer
a) (ii)
Total 2016 = 21,710
Total 2017 = 24,051
Difference = 24,051 - 21,710 = 2,341
% increase x 100 = 10.78% / 10.8%
(ii)(7,786,000 – 3,005,000)kg = 4,781,000kg
b) (i)Total production in 2017 – 24,061
Bartabwa = x 360 = 59.8 = 60
Barwesa = x 360 = 116.5
Kabartonjo = x 360 = 100.2 = 100
Kipsaram = x 360 = 83.383
(Using a radius of 5cm, draw a pie chart to represent production of 2017.)
