To find the total degrees used to represent food and entertainment, we need to calculate the percentage of the total spending for each category and then multiply that by 360° (the total degrees in a circle).
The percentage spent on food is given by:
(860 / (900 + 860 + 770 + 320)) * 100 = 860 / 2850 * 100 = 30.18%
The percentage spent on entertainment is given by:
(770 / 2850) * 100 = 27.02%
To find the total degrees used for food, we multiply the percentage spent on food by 360°:
30.18% * 360° = 108.648° ≈ 109°
To find the total degrees used for entertainment, we multiply the percentage spent on entertainment by 360°:
27.02% * 360° = 97.272° ≈ 97°
Therefore, the total degrees used to represent food and entertainment is approximately 109° + 97° = 206°.
The answer is a. 206°.
