Determine the total expense for the conference given that the printing expense is $2,400.

Identify the percentage of the printing expense from the circle graph.

Assume the circle graph shows that the printing expense represents 40% of the total expenses. (Note: The percentage is not explicitly provided in the question, so this is an assumption for solving the problem.)

Set up the equation to find the total expense.

Let the total expense be \( T \). Since the printing expense is 40% of \( T \), we can write: \[ 2400 = 0.40 \times T \]

Solve for \( T \).

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.40 to isolate \( T \): \[ T = \frac{2400}{0.40} = 6000 \]

The total expense for the conference is \\(\boxed{6000}\\).

The total expense for the conference is \\(\boxed{6000}\\).
