To calculate the central angle for food in Carol's budget on a circle graph, we first need to determine what percentage of the circle represents food.
Since Carol budgets 20% of her income for food, the central angle for food on the circle graph can be calculated as follows:
Central Angle = Total degrees in a circle * Percentage allocated for food
Central Angle = 360 degrees * 20%
Central Angle = 360 degrees * 0.20
Central Angle = 72 degrees
Therefore, Carol must use a central angle of 72 degrees to represent the food item on the circle graph.
