Each sector of the pie chart makes an angle at the center. For example, the yellow sector makes an 18 degree angle, since 18 degree is 5% of 360 degree.
Which sector makes an angle closest to 40 degree? (Your answer should be a color word.)
Part Two: For this problem, use the data from part (a).
If we consider only the people who named a rainbow color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple), what percentage of those people preferred red?

Part 1:
40 degrees is (40/360)=0.111=11.1%
The color closest to 11.1% is Purple at 12%.
.
The total who prefer a rainbow color is:
13+4+5+15+16+12=65
Of this 65, 13 prefer red, so 13/65=0.20,
of the people who preferred a rainbow color,
20% preferred red.
