Solution
1. The greatest amount of total is spent in Newspapers.
2. The greatest amount of total is spent in Radio.
3. Total = 40 + 42 + 23 + 7 + 11 + 39 + 14 + 15 + 9 = 200
% Spent in direct mail = `39/200 xx 100`
% Spent in direct mail = 19.5
4. Total = 40 + 42 + 23 + 7 + 11 + 39 + 14 + 15 + 9 = 200
Newspaper + Magazine = 42 + 23 = 65
% Spent in Newspaper and Magazine = `65/200 xx 100`
% Spent in Newspaper and Magazine = 32.5
