1. **Decide on Your Data for Each Brand**  
   Assume you have the following breakdown for the total $$300$$ pairs of sneakers sold in May:  
   - Nike: $$120$$ pairs  
   - Adidas: $$80$$ pairs  
   - Puma: $$40$$ pairs  
   - Reebok: $$30$$ pairs  
   - New Balance: $$30$$ pairs  
   (These numbers add up since $$120+80+40+30+30=300$$.)

2. **Choose Your Graph Type**  
   Instead of a standard bar graph, you can create a **pie chart** on graph paper. This chart will visually show how each brand's sales contribute to the total.

3. **Calculate the Angle for Each Sector**  
   Each slice in the pie chart corresponds to a fraction of $$360^\circ$$. Compute the angle for each brand using the formula:  
   $$
   \text{Angle} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of Pairs}}{300}\right) \times 360^\circ
   $$  
   - **Nike:**  
     $$
     \theta_{Nike} = \frac{120}{300} \times 360^\circ = 144^\circ
     $$
   - **Adidas:**  
     $$
     \theta_{Adidas} = \frac{80}{300} \times 360^\circ = 96^\circ
     $$
   - **Puma:**  
     $$
     \theta_{Puma} = \frac{40}{300} \times 360^\circ = 48^\circ
     $$
   - **Reebok:**  
     $$
     \theta_{Reebok} = \frac{30}{300} \times 360^\circ = 36^\circ
     $$
   - **New Balance:**  
     $$
     \theta_{New Balance} = \frac{30}{300} \times 360^\circ = 36^\circ
     $$

4. **Construct the Pie Chart on Graph Paper**  
   - Draw a circle using a compass.  
   - Place a point at the center of the circle.  
   - Use a protractor to measure an angle of $$144^\circ$$ from a starting radius and draw the first cut. Label this sector “Nike ($$120$$ pairs)”.  
   - From the new radius, measure the next angle of $$96^\circ$$ for the Adidas slice and label it “Adidas ($$80$$ pairs)”.  
   - Continue with $$48^\circ$$ for Puma (“Puma, $$40$$ pairs”), $$36^\circ$$ for Reebok (“Reebok, $$30$$ pairs)”), and finally $$36^\circ$$ for New Balance (“New Balance, $$30$$ pairs)”.

5. **Add Titles and Labels**  
   - **Title the Graph:** Write a title at the top of your graph paper, for example,  
     $$
     \textbf{May Sneaker Sales by Brand}
     $$
   - **Labeling:**  
     - Draw a small key or legend if you want to assign colors or patterns to each brand.  
     - Write the number of pairs sold and/or the percentage each brand contributed (you can compute percentages if desired: e.g., Nike $$ \approx 40\% $$, Adidas $$ \approx 26.7\% $$, etc.).

6. **Final Check**  
   - Ensure that all sectors together complete the full circle, which should sum to $$360^\circ$$.  
   - Confirm that every piece of information (title, brand names, pairs sold, angles, and key/legend) is clearly labeled.

Following these steps, you’ll have a complete pie chart on graph paper that effectively shows how the sales of different sneaker brands compared in May.
To compare sales of different sneaker brands in May, create a pie chart on graph paper. Use the total of 300 pairs sold, dividing them into sectors for each brand (Nike: 120, Adidas: 80, Puma: 40, Reebok: 30, New Balance: 30). Calculate each sector's angle based on the number of pairs sold, then draw the pie chart with labeled sectors and a title like "May Sneaker Sales by Brand."
