\begin{gathered} In\text{ order to answer the question, we must first calculate the percentage of defective cellphones:} \\ Percentage\text{ = }(229)/(5060)*100 \\ =4.526\% \\ To\text{ translate this into degrees, we will multiply it by the total number of degrees in a circle which is 360 degrees.} \\ 4.526\%\text{ *360} \\ =16.29\degree\text{ }\approx\text{ 16}\degree \end{gathered}

Answer: 16 degrees
