The pie chart above shows the monthly distribution of a man's salary on food items. If he spent ₦8,000 on rice, how much did he spent on yam?

The man's salary was divided into four food items: Rice, Yam, Beans, and Others. The chart shows that rice takes up 20% of his salary, and yam takes up 40% of his salary. Since rice takes up 20% of his salary, and he spent ₦8,000 on it, we can calculate the total salary of the man by dividing his spend on rice by 20%. ₦8,000 / 20% = ₦40,000 Since the total salary is ₦40,000 and yam takes up 40% of the salary, we can calculate how much he spent on yam by multiplying the total salary by 40%. ₦40,000 * 40% = ₦16,000 Therefore, the man spent ₦16,000 on yam.
