Question

Jane spent 62% of her school budget on books. In degrees, what measurement would that section be on a circle graph?

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

In a circle, the angle of the whole circle is `360` degrees
So, you can think of `100%` as equivalent to `360` degrees

ie:

100% = 360 degrees and now, 62% = angle in degrees

Angle in degrees = `1/100(62times360) = 223.2`

Therefore, on the circle graph, you should have allocated a 223.2 degrees sector for your books
