Question

Leah made a circle graph to
represent how she spent her
$250. If she spent $80 on food,
how many degrees should the
sector that represents food
expenses be?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  115.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the circle is the same as the fraction food is of the total:

  ($80/$250) × 360° = 0.32 × 360° = 115.2°

The sector representing food expenses will have a central angle of 115.2°.
