Need to know how to convert the numbers (in millions of dollars)to a percent to be able to start the pie chart.
.
First, find the total:
10651 + 6108 + 34 = 16793
.
Percentages are then:
Science, aeronautics and exploration: 10651/16793 * 100 = 63.43%
Explortaion: 6108/16793 * 100 = 36.37% 
Inspector General: 34/16793 * 100 = 0.20%
