Set up a proportion.

A complete circle, or "pie" has 360 degrees. What you need to
do is convert percentages into degrees. For instance, 50% converts
to degrees
Now I'll convert the given percentages given to degrees:
--------------------
(90 degrees)
(162 degrees)
(54 degrees)
(18 degrees)
(54 degrees)
------------------------------
The problem is that %
That's 5% too much
The degrees add up to: degrees
That's degrees too much, which agrees with
degrees
You may have copied the problem wrong.
