Question 57249: Can someone help me on this pie chart?
I have a pie chart where the chart represents the eye color of students in a certain class.
Brown is 50%, Blue is 33%, and other is 17%
If there were 66 students in the class, how many students had brown eyes?
Thanks, Lyn
Answer by rcmcc(152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If there are 66 students it is easily calculated into a percentage. If 50% of the students had brown eyes converted to a fraction it is 1/2
you can multiply the amount of students by the fraction and it will give you the number of students with the eye color.

so
(1/2)x66=33 students
you can also find the amount with blue or other colored eyes.
blue eyes fraction is 33/100 or 1/3 so (1/3)x66=22 students and 11 students with other colored eyes.
here are the list of numbers
Other=11 students
Blue=22 students
brown=33 students
