Answer

The people that selected orange will represent an angular measure of 54°

Step-by-step explanation

The entire circle has a degree measure of 360°.

So, a total of 120 people will occupy the whole 360°.

So, the 18 people that selected orange will occupy an angle measure of

(18/120) × 360°

= 54°

Hope this Helps!!!
