To find the angle of the sector representing the response of Christmas, we need to first calculate the total number of people surveyed who mentioned Christmas as a holiday on which gifts are given.
35 people answered Christmas
Next, we calculate the total number of people surveyed:
35 (Christmas) + 34 (birthdays) + 18 (Valentine’s Day) + 8 (Mother’s Day/Father’s Day) + 5 (anniversary) = 100
So, the sector representing Christmas will cover:
(35/100) x 360 degrees = 126 degrees
Therefore, the sector representing the response of Christmas will cover 126 degrees.
George asked 100 people to name a holiday on which gifts are given.
35 people answered Christmas.
34 people answered birthdays.
18 people answered Valentine’s Day.
8 people answered Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
5 people answered anniversary.
If George makes a circle graph to represent the data, how many degrees will the sector representing the response of Christmas be?
