To calculate the percentage of the circle that the entertainment sector will occupy in the graph, we need to first find the total monthly budget:
125 (clothes/cosmetics) + 75 (entertainment) + 50 (school activities) + 250 (savings) = 500
Next, we calculate the percentage of the total budget that the entertainment sector represents:
75 (entertainment) / 500 (total budget) x 100% = 15%
Therefore, the entertainment sector will occupy 15% of the circle in the graph.
