A salesperson uses a circle graph to represent shoe sales for one year. The central angle for the portion of the graph that represents running shoes measures 80°. If 200 running shoes were sold, how many shoes were sold?

Thanks! :)

To solve the problem, we can use proportions. Since the central angle for running shoes is 80 degrees, we know that the ratio of running shoes sold to total shoes sold is 80/360. This is because the total number of degrees in a circle is 360. Therefore, we can set up the proportion:

80/360 = 200/x

where x is the total number of shoes sold. Solving for x, we get:

x = (360 * 200)/80

x = 900

Therefore, the total number of shoes sold is 900.
