How do you put percents into degrees?
For example:
25%= ?degree
Degrees of what? latitude? longitude? Fahrenheit? Celsius? ??
25% means 25 parts of 100.
1) What angle would the 19-25 year old category need if it represented 20% of the people in the theater?
72o
52o
360o
49.1o
Is this for a circle graph?
Yes ma'am :-)
Hello Kitty -- you'd have had your answer an hour ago if you'd posted the complete problem at first.
A circle has 360 degrees.
20% = 0.2
0.2 * 360 = 72 degrees
To convert a percent to degrees, you need to understand that 100% represents a full circle, which is equal to 360 degrees.
To find the equivalent in degrees for a specific percentage, you can set up a proportion using the following formula:
Percentage / 100 = Degrees / 360
Let's use your example of 25%:
25 / 100 = Degrees / 360
To solve for degrees, we can cross-multiply:
25 * 360 = Degrees * 100
9000 = Degrees * 100
Divide both sides by 100 to isolate the variable:
9000 / 100 = Degrees
90 = Degrees
Therefore, 25% is equal to 90 degrees.
