1. **State the problem:** We have a town with 1,200 residents and a circle graph showing the distribution of occupations: Retail 25%, Industry 25%, Education 15%, Other 30%, and Government 5% (since the total must be 100%). 2. **What is asked?** Find how many more residents work in Industry than in Government. 3. **Formula:** Number of residents in a category = Total residents \times Percentage (as a decimal). 4. **Calculate residents in Industry:** $$1200 \times 0.25 = 300$$ 5. **Calculate residents in Government:** $$1200 \times 0.05 = 60$$ 6. **Find the difference:** $$300 - 60 = 240$$ 7. **Answer:** There are 240 more residents working in Industry than in Government.
