About this exercise

Reading shares from a pie chart.

How to solve it

The whole circle is 100 percent, or 360 degrees. Convert a slice by comparing it with the full circle.

Worked example

A quarter of the circle stands for 25 percent of the total.

Common mistake

Comparing slices with each other instead of with the whole. Every share is measured against the full circle.
