Question 237805: How many degrees are in 325 out of 4875 in a pie chart

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We know that a half a circle is 180 degrees, thus a full circle is 360 degrees.
Now you can say: 325 is to 4875 as x is to 360
325%2F4875=x%2F360
Now solve for x by multiplying 360 on both sides of the eqn.
This will yield your answer.
