a circle graph titled preferred television genre, with five sections labeled drama 14 percent, sports 22 percent, documentaries 24 percent, reality 20 percent, and sci-fi

80

20

The answer is 100, see Explanation:

Explanation:

If anyone looks at the verified answer, its wrong and so are the comments under it. In the answer above it says "Sci-fi = 100-24-22-20-14=20" that is correct but the answer is not. 20 percent of 500 is 100 not 72 or 20, I don't know how anyone got those answers.
