Given the information on the circular graph, we have that Medicare & Medicaid has the 35%, then, in angles this is:


(360\cdot35)/(100)=126\~

For the rest, we have the following:


\begin{gathered} \text{Net Interest: 22\%} \\ \Rightarrow(360\cdot22)/(100)=79.2\~ \\ \text{Defense: 15\%} \\ \Rightarrow(360\cdot15)/(100)=54\~ \\ \text{Social Security: 11\%} \\ \Rightarrow(360\cdot11)/(100)=39.6\~ \end{gathered}
