Step 1: In 1984, "Network Television" expenditure accounts for 31% of total Advertising expenditure which is approximately 9.75 Billion USD. Therefore, Network Television expenditure in 1984: 0.31*9.75 = 3.0225 Billion USD.
Step 2: According to the Question, this expenditure in 1984 is twice the expenditure in 1980. Therefore, the "Network Television" expenditure in 1980: 3.0225/2 = 1.5113 Billion USD
Step 3: From the bar chart, approximate total Advertising Expenditure in 1980: 6.75 Billion USD. Now that we determined both "Network Television" expenditure and total Advertising Expenditure, we can determine the percentage of Advertising Dollar spent on "Network Television" : 1.5113/6.75 = 23%
So, the answer is B.
