automotive department: $25,000
clothing department: $95,000
grocery department: $195,000
nursery department: $10,000
change each of the profit amounts to the nearest tenth of a percent. now, change each of these percents to degrees. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
appliance department:
automotive department:
clothing department:
grocery department:
nursery department:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Total Profit

First, sum all department profits: \( 35000 + 25000 + 95000 + 195000 + 10000 = 360000 \)

Step2: Appliance Department % and Degrees

• Percent: \( \frac{35000}{360000} \times 100 \approx 9.7\% \)
• Degrees: \( 9.7\% \times 360 = 34.92 \approx 35^\circ \)

Step3: Automotive Department % and Degrees

• Percent: \( \frac{25000}{360000} \times 100 \approx 6.9\% \)
• Degrees: \( 6.9\% \times 360 = 24.84 \approx 25^\circ \)

Step4: Clothing Department % and Degrees

• Percent: \( \frac{95000}{360000} \times 100 \approx 26.4\% \)
• Degrees: \( 26.4\% \times 360 = 95.04 \approx 95^\circ \)

Step5: Grocery Department % and Degrees

• Percent: \( \frac{195000}{360000} \times 100 \approx 54.2\% \)
• Degrees: \( 54.2\% \times 360 = 195.12 \approx 195^\circ \)

Step6: Nursery Department % and Degrees

• Percent: \( \frac{10000}{360000} \times 100 \approx 2.8\% \)
• Degrees: \( 2.8\% \times 360 = 10.08 \approx 10^\circ \)

Answer:

• Appliance Department: 9.7%, \( 35^\circ \)
• Automotive Department: 6.9%, \( 25^\circ \)
• Clothing Department: 26.4%, \( 95^\circ \)
• Grocery Department: 54.2%, \( 195^\circ \)
• Nursery Department: 2.8%, \( 10^\circ \)
