So the circle or pie is made of 360 degrees

The number of degrees for each part is as shown:

40% = 144 degrees
28% = 100.8 degrees
15% = 54 degrees
12% = 43.2 degrees
5% = 18 degrees

Example of how to obtain the degrees:

40% = 0.4
0.4 • 360 = 144

Answer:

Explanation:

A circle is 360 degrees. What we are asked in words is, "How many degrees is 40% of 360?" Let x be "how many degrees"; the word "is" means =; 40% as a decimal is .4; the word of in this context means to multiply; and 360 is just 360. Putting all that together into an equation we can solve for x:

x = .4(360) so

x = 144

Adventure movies covers 144 degrees of that circle.
