Question

A pie diagram shows the percentage distribution of proteins, water and other dry elements in the human body. Given that proteins corresponds to 16% and water corresponds to 70% . If both proteins and the other dry elements corresponds to p% , then what is the central angle of the section representing p on the pie diagram?

Accepted Answer

Here's a brief explanation:

1.  Calculate the percentage of "other dry elements":
    Total percentage = 100%
    Proteins = 16%
    Water = 70%
    Other dry elements = 100% - (16% + 70%) = 100% - 86% = 14%.

2.  Calculate p%:
    p% = Proteins + Other dry elements = 16% + 14% = 30%.

3.  Convert p% to a central angle:
    A full circle represents 360 degrees, which corresponds to 100%.
    Central angle = (Percentage / 100) * 360 degrees
    Central angle for p = (30 / 100) * 360 degrees = 0.30 * 360 degrees = 108 degrees.

Therefore, the central angle representing p is 108 degrees.

The final answer is C) 108 degrees.
