The grades of 36 students in a class test are shown in the pie chart (Pass 120∘120^\circ, Credit 80∘80^\circ, Very good 90∘90^\circ). How many students have Excellent?

Pass 120°Credit 80°Very goodExcellent
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The angles add up to 360∘360^\circ, so Excellent is 360∘−(120∘+80∘+90∘)=70∘360^\circ - (120^\circ + 80^\circ + 90^\circ) = 70^\circ.
  2. Its share of the 36 students: 70360×36=7\frac{70}{360} \times 36 = 7, option D.
