To find out how many degrees represent rent on a circle graph, we can use the following relationship:
1. A full circle is 360 degrees.
2. The percentage of the circle that corresponds to rent can be calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Degrees for rent} = \left(\frac{\text{Amount spent on rent}}{\text{Total expenses}}\right) \times 360
\]
Given that Sara spent \( \$1240 \) on rent out of a total of \( \$6200 \):
\[
\text{Degrees for rent} = \left(\frac{1240}{6200}\right) \times 360
\]
First, calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{1240}{6200} = 0.2
\]
Now, multiply this fraction by 360 degrees:
\[
\text{Degrees for rent} = 0.2 \times 360 = 72
\]
So, the degree measurement that represents rent on the circle graph is:
**72 degrees.**
