Question

student handout. unit 2 lesson 6

1. b). create a circle graph for the data on a percent circle. check to include: title labels on each section percent on each section
2. c) read the graph to answer:

i) what category does this family spend almost half of their spending on?
ii) what category does this family spend a little more than one - tenth on?
iii) what percent of their spending is on food and entertainment?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify half - spending category

Half of spending is 50%. Looking at the graph, the category with around 45% (almost half) needs to be identified.

Step2: Identify one - tenth spending category

One - tenth is 10%. We need to find the category with a little more than 10%.

Step3: Find food and entertainment percentage

We need to sum the percentages of food and entertainment sectors from the graph.

Answer:

i) The category with around 45% spending. (No labels given in the problem to name the category exactly).
ii) The category with a bit more than 10% spending. (No labels given in the problem to name the category exactly).
iii) Without knowing which sections represent food and entertainment, we cannot calculate the sum. If we assume we had the labels, we would add the percentages of the respective sections.
