The Smith family has an annual income of Gh¢15,000.00. They planned to budget it in the following way: Make a pie chart to show the distribution of the money. What fraction of the money is spent on savings?

Step 1: Calculate the central angle for each expense category for the pie chart.
The total percentage is 100%, which corresponds to a full circle of $360^\circ$.

• Food: $\frac{10}{100} \times 360^\circ = 36^\circ$
• Shelter: $\frac{25}{100} \times 360^\circ = 90^\circ$
• Clothing: $\frac{20}{100} \times 360^\circ = 72^\circ$
• Advancement: $\frac{15}{100} \times 360^\circ = 54^\circ$
• Operating expenses: $\frac{18}{100} \times 360^\circ = 64.8^\circ$
• Savings: $\frac{12}{100} \times 360^\circ = 43.2^\circ$

1.i) Make a pie chart to show the distribution of the money.
To draw the pie chart, divide a circle into sectors with the following central angles:

• Food: $36^\circ$
• Shelter: $90^\circ$
• Clothing: $72^\circ$
• Advancement: $54^\circ$
• Operating expenses: $64.8^\circ$
• Savings: $43.2^\circ$

1.ii) What fraction of the money is spent on savings?
From the table, the percentage spent on savings is 12%.
To express this as a fraction, we write 12% as $\frac{12}{100}$.

$$\text{Fraction for savings} = \frac{12}{100}$$

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

$$\frac{12 \div 4}{100 \div 4} = \frac{3}{25}$$

The fraction of the money spent on savings is $\boxed{\frac{3}{25}}$.
