Find the angles of the sectors representing each item in a pie chart of the data 6, 10, 14, 16, 26.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Add the data: 6+10+14+16+26=726 + 10 + 14 + 16 + 26 = 72.
  2. The whole circle is 360∘360^\circ, so each unit gets 360∘72=5∘\frac{360^\circ}{72} = 5^\circ.
  3. Multiply each item by 5: 30∘,50∘,70∘,80∘,130∘30^\circ, 50^\circ, 70^\circ, 80^\circ, 130^\circ, option D.
