Shoes of the following brands are sold in November 2007 at a shoe store. Construct a pie chart for the given data.
$\begin{array}{cc}Brand& Numberofpairsofshoessold\\ A& 130\\ B& 120\\ C& 90\\ D& 40\\ E& 20\end{array}$

Answer 1

Total number of pairs of shoes sold = (130 + 120 + 90 + 40 + 20) = 400
$\therefore$ Central angle of pie chart representing the brand
(i) $A=\frac{130}{400}\times {360}^{\circ }={117}^{\circ }$
(ii) $B=\frac{120}{400}\times {360}^{\circ }={108}^{\circ }$
(iii) $C=\frac{90}{400}\times {360}^{\circ }={81}^{\circ }$
(iv) $D=\frac{40}{400}\times {360}^{\circ }={36}^{\circ }$
(v) $E=\frac{20}{400}\times {360}^{\circ }={18}^{\circ }$
