Question

In a recent election, there were six candidates and 4700 total votes. The circle graph below summarizes the votes by candidate.

The central angle for the Bowerman slice is 36º. What percentage of the votes did Bowerman get? Do not round.

Answer 1

The circle is 360 degrees so,

360 degrees --> 4700 votes

36 degrees ---> x

4700*36 = 360*x

169,200 = 360*x

x= 169,200/360

x= 470

`(470)/(4700) = 0.1 = 10\%`
