Find the percentage of the people who like Chocolate = chocolate/ total x 100

Percentage = 125/300 = 0.41666 x 100 = 41.6667 = 41.67 ( round as needed)

A full circle is 360 degrees.

The central angle = percentage of chocolate x 360:

0.416666 x 360 = 150

The central angle for chocolate is 150 degrees
