We first find the miscellaneous expenditures for 1984, and then find the billboard expenditures from that. The pie chart tells us the miscellaneous expenditures were 3 percent; since the total expenditures were just less than 10 billion, the miscellaneous expenditures were a little less than $\(3 \% \times 10\)$ billion or a little less than 300 million.
The billboard expenditures were 25 percent or $\(\frac{1}{4}\)$ of this, for a total of about 75 million.
