­Hi, I have a doubt with this type of graphs (pie chat + a bar). My understanding: the bar from the right represents the detail inside Computing. So, if i want to compare Life Sciences and Physical Sciences vs Network/Sys Admin, the final percentage of Network/Sys Admin would be 0.74*0.07. Is my reasoning right?

If you add all the percentages in the bar you will see that they add up to 74%.

You are correct. The question should have been more specific on what does the column on right represent.

Hi, Shouldn't the answer for the 1st question be "50% more" and the 2nd question "more than". The reason we cant take the value of SD as 32% is because its 32% of computing which is 74% of stem jobs..
Similar reasoning applies to 2nd question as well. Pls, feel free to correct me if I have misinterpreted the question. Thanks!

Approximately ___________ jobs were created in Software Development than in Engineering.

Jobs created in SD = 32%
Jobs created in Engg = 16%
So, Jobs created in SD are double than those created in Engg. Which accounts to a 100% increase. Option A

A. 100% more
B. 75% more
C. 50% more
D. 25% more

The number of jobs created in Life Sciences and Physical Sciences was ________ the number of jobs created in Network/Sys Admin.

Jobs created in LS = 3%
Jobs created in PS = 3%
Jobs created in N/S = 7%
Jobs created in N/S>Jobs created in LS+Jobs created in PS. Option B

A. more than
B. less than

The number of jobs created in Security, Software Development, and Database Administration account for approximately _________ of all Computing jobs created.

Jobs created in Security = 3%
Jobs created in SD = 32%
Jobs created in DA = 2%
Total = 37%

Jobs created in Computing = 74%

So, the jobs created in Security+SD+DA, accounts for 50% of all jobs in computing. Option C

A. 33%
B. 37%
C. 50%

This is a standard pie chart and gives the break up of 74% of Computing in a list. The percentages in the list add up to 74%, not 100% There is no ambiguity here. The point is for you to comprehend the data given hence it is not necessary for the test maker to exactly explain what is going on.
The answers as given are correct.
