Your tasks for this assignment...
- On a sheet of paper, make 2 charts like the ones below.
- Predict the % for each category (make sure your prediction adds up to 100%!).
- Enter the actual numbers; I'll give you these a little later.
- Just FYI, the government spent 11% more than they took in (that's bad).
- Make a pie graph for each chart using the actual stats (not your predictions).
