when you make a circle graph how do you find the percent? like there are 33 people and only 4 likes cats 5 likes dogs 6 likes snakes 7 likes birds and 12 likes rats ... how would you find all the percents
next is how do you find the degrees to make the whole circle??
To find the percent you add up all the numbers 5+6+7+12+...then whatever number you get is the denominator. So if you want to find the percent of rats you take 12 divided by all the numbers added together. To determine the degrees of each part you can divide it into 4th which is 25% and then work up or down from there.
To find the percent for each category in a circle graph, you need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total number of individuals. In this case, the total number of people is given as 33.
2. Determine the number of individuals that fall into each category. In this case, we have:
- 4 people who like cats
- 5 people who like dogs
- 6 people who like snakes
- 7 people who like birds
- 12 people who like rats
To find the percent for each category, you can use the following formula:
Percent = (Number of individuals in the category / Total number of individuals) × 100
Let's calculate the percent for each category:
- Percent who like cats = (4 / 33) × 100 ≈ 12.12%
- Percent who like dogs = (5 / 33) × 100 ≈ 15.15%
- Percent who like snakes = (6 / 33) × 100 ≈ 18.18%
- Percent who like birds = (7 / 33) × 100 ≈ 21.21%
- Percent who like rats = (12 / 33) × 100 ≈ 36.36%
To find the number of degrees needed to represent each category in the circle graph, you need to use the formula:
Degrees = (Percent / 100) × 360
Let's calculate the degrees for each category:
- Degrees for cats = (12.12 / 100) × 360 ≈ 43.64°
- Degrees for dogs = (15.15 / 100) × 360 ≈ 54.54°
- Degrees for snakes = (18.18 / 100) × 360 ≈ 65.45°
- Degrees for birds = (21.21 / 100) × 360 ≈ 76.36°
- Degrees for rats = (36.36 / 100) × 360 ≈ 130.91°
These values represent the angles you will use to draw the segments in the circle graph, where the total degrees of the circle is 360°.
