I will give you an example, lets say you have 4 different colors and different numbers for all of them.
So, 4 red, 6 blue, 8 green, 4 yellow.
add up all the numbers
then divide everything by the number you get:
red = 18% red
blue = 27% blue
green = 37% green
yellow = 18% yellow
Please keep in mind, due to rounding, your answer won't always add up to be 100%
After you get the percentages, draw a pie (a circle) and divide it up into the percentages. For example, if something was 50%, you would use half the pie chart. Then label what you need and you are done!

just wanted to add if your making it to be as close to exact as possible for instance u would want to know what the angles would be for each piece simply multiply the percentage and 360 to find the angle for example 37%= .37(360)=133.2 so it would be an approx 133 degree angle.
