Question 399363
A complete circle, or "pie" has 360 degrees. What you need to
do is convert percentages into degrees. For instance, 50% converts
to {{{(50/100)*360 = 180}}} degrees
Now I'll convert the given percentages given to degrees:
--------------------
{{{a = (25/100)*360}}} (90 degrees)
{{{b = (45/100)*360}}} (162 degrees)
{{{c = (15/100)*360}}} (54 degrees)
{{{d = (5/100)*360}}} (18 degrees)
{{{e = (15/100)*360}}} (54 degrees)
------------------------------
The problem is that {{{25 + 45 + 15 + 5 + 15 = 105}}} %
That's 5% too much
The degrees add up to: {{{90 + 162 + 54 + 18 + 54 = 378}}} degrees
That's {{{18}}} degrees too much, which agrees with
{{{(5/100)*360 = 18}}}degrees
You may have copied the problem wrong.
