Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The circle graph represents the total expenses, and each degree represents a fraction of the total expenses. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle and savings are represented by 45 degrees, savings are 45/360 of the total expenses. Calculating this fraction of the total expenses, $1392 * (45/360) = $1392 * (1/8) = $174, which means $174 go into savings.
