1 answer

To calculate the percentage of the circle that the entertainment sector will occupy, we first need to find the total amount of money Jaclyn budgets for all her expenses.

Total budget = $125 (clothes and cosmetics) + $75 (entertainment) + $50 (school activities) + $250 (savings)
Total budget = $500

Now, we can calculate the percentage of the circle that the entertainment sector represents:
Percentage for entertainment = ($75 / $500) * 100
Percentage for entertainment = 15%

Therefore, the entertainment sector will occupy 15% of the circle graph.
