The circle graph represents a Family‘s monthly budget. It’s a total monthly budget is $5000. How much does a family spend on items other than food and housing?
The family spends $2500 on items other than food and housing.
To determine how much a family spends on items other than food and housing based on the circle graph, you will need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the total sector dedicated to food and housing in the circle graph.
- Look for the corresponding sector in the graph that represents food and housing expenses.
- Identify the size or angle of this sector to determine the proportion of the budget allocated to food and housing.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of the budget allocated to food and housing.
- Divide the size or angle of the food and housing sector by 360 (total degrees in a circle) to find the percentage.
Step 3: Calculate the amount spent on food and housing.
- Multiply the percentage from Step 2 by the total monthly budget ($5000) to find the dollar amount spent on food and housing.
Step 4: Subtract the amount spent on food and housing from the total monthly budget to find the amount spent on other items.
- Subtract the amount calculated in Step 3 from the total monthly budget ($5000).
By following these steps, you will be able to determine how much the family spends on items other than food and housing based on the circle graph representation of their monthly budget.
