Answer:

Number of self-Help books sold = 252 books

Explanation:

Total books sold last week = 1,125

Central angle for the Self-Help slice = 80.64°

Total angle in a circle = 360°

How many of the books sold were Self-Help books?

Number of self-Help books sold =

Central angle for the Self-Help slice / Total angle in a circle × total number of books sold

= 80.64° / 360° × 1,125

= 0.224 × 1,125

= 252

Number of self-Help books sold = 252 books
