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?

To find the number of degrees for the sector representing Christmas, we first need to find the total number of people who responded to the survey:

35 (Christmas) + 34 (birthdays) + 18 (Valentine's Day) + 8 (Mother's Day/Father's Day) + 5 (anniversary) = 100

Next, we need to calculate the percentage of people who answered Christmas:

35 (Christmas) / 100 (total responses) * 100 = 35%

Finally, we need to convert the percentage into degrees. Since a full circle has 360 degrees, we can calculate the degrees for the Christmas sector:

35% * 360 = 126 degrees

Therefore, the sector representing the response of Christmas will be 126 degrees in the circle graph.
