Question

HELP! If given the following Graph:


Andre earns $4000 a month at his new job. In order to track his spending and saving, he created a monthly budget. Andre divided his income into five categories and created the following circle graph to represent the budget he created for himself.


Explain how to find the dollar amount that represents the part of his monthly budget labeled "Rent".

Answer 1

Answer:

So Andre earns $4,000 per month, so that means the entire pie chart represents all $4,000. Now that you know that, you just have to know what each percent is of 4,000.

For example: For rent it says 33%. 33% of 4,000 is the same as (33% × 4,000), which is $1,320. So that means rent is $1,320 per month, I'm guessing.

Other = $880

Savings = $1,000

Utilities = $320

Groceries = $480

Formula is: (Percent × "number you want to know percent of")

Hope this makes sense, if I'm right, could you mark me brainliest please :)
