A world congress of mathematicians was held in Nice in 1970 with 800 people participating: 300 from Europe, 200 from America, 150 from Asia, 45 from Africa and 105 from Australia. On a pie chart, the angle of the sector representing Asia is

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. There are 800 people, so each person gets 360∘800=0.45∘\frac{360^\circ}{800} = 0.45^\circ.
  2. Asia has 150 people: 150×0.45∘=67.5∘150 \times 0.45^\circ = 67.5^\circ, option B.
