In a pie chart, the sum of the angles for each variable or item is 360 degrees. also, the total percentage is 100

Looking at each flavor,

27% chose Glazier freeze, = 27/100 * 360 = 97.2 degrees

25% chose Fierce grape = 25/100 * 360 = 90 degrees

15.5% chose Extreme Citrico = 15.5/100 * 360 = 55.8 degrees

13.5% chose Cool Blue = 13.5/100 * 360 = 48.6 degrees

11.5% chose Lemon ice = 11.5/100 * 360 = 41.4

We want to determine the degrees for others

Therefore,

97.2 + 90 + 55.8 + 48.6 + 41.4 + others = 360

333 + others = 360

others = 360 - 333

others = 27 degrees

The correct option is C

The concept used is converting the given percentages to degrees and equation them to 360 degrees

100% is equivalent to 360 degrees
