If you're trying to create a pie chart, use 15% of 360 degrees, or 54 degrees. 48% of 360 is ~ 173 degrees, etc.

children => 15/100=x/360
=54 degrees
women and children=>48/100=x/360
=172.8 degrees
metics=>12/100=x/360
=43.2 degrees
slaves=>25/100=x/360
=90 degrees

you just need to multiply each with 360 degrees.
that's it.
