pie charts ?

Question

Rent £200
Food £100
Entertainment £50
Other £50

how do i put this into a pie chart ?

Answer 1

Add it all up = 400

each section is it's value divided by 400 X 360

e.g. Food = 100/400 X 360 = 90 degrees

Draw and colour

Answer 2

Ok think of an apple tart that you cut into sections. Well the apple tart is round and you usually cut each piece or segment equally, but in this case each piece is cut to different sizes to match the amount you have given. So add all the figure up and you get £400. The full pie chart equals 400 and the Rent is half (400 - 200 = 200) The food is half of the half which is equal to 1/4 (100 x 4 = 400). The entertainment is half of that again which is equal to 1/8 (50 x 8 = 400) and finally the Other is the same size as the entertainment so it is also 1/8. Add the pound signs in front of the figures. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Figure out what percentage of the total each of them are and that is the percent of the pie chart they will take up.

1. Find the total
200+100+50+50 = 400

2. Divide each of the amounts by the total
Rent = 200/400 = .50 or 50% of the pie chart
Food = 100/400 = .25 or 25% of the pie chart

Try the other two on your own.

Answer 4

Add the 4 numbers up and you get £400.

To get rent you multiply £200 by 360 divided by £400. Your answer is 180 degrees. So you put 180 degrees on the pie chart. Hope this helps

Answer 5

If you're using Excel, you can put the items on one column and their price on the other column, making sure that they match perfectly. Then click Insert, click charts, and choose the Pie Chart Option.

If you're doing this without the aid of Excel, just total all the items, and compute the percentage of each in relation to the total and multiply that percentage to 360 degrees (that's the "pie" size for each item).

Like this Rent is 50% of the circle, Food is a quarter, Entertainment is one-eighth and so is Other.

Does that help? I really want to know.

Answer 6

Add em all up so you get 400
360 divided by 400
Then say the answer was 1.2 (its not really you'll have to figure it out!)
For rent do 200 x 1.2 = 240
Turn this into 240 degrees and draw it onto a circle using an angle measurer.
Do the same with the other 3 as well and it should fill the whole circle.
Remember that 360 divided by 400 isnt actually 1.2 i don't think so you'll have to work that out.And times it by the amount of money for each category.
Hope it helps.

Answer 7

Remember...the whole pie = 100% of the numbers. So add up all the numbers for all the categories: rent, food..... That total is what 100% is based on. Now work out the percentage for each category: rent = 200/total %, food = 100/total % .....

Divide (slice) your pie (yummy kidney pie from the looks of the pound symbols) accordingly. Name each slice according to the categories: rent, food, etc.

Answer 8

Put the numbers and categories into an electronic spreadsheet (such as Excel). Then select the data and use it to make a pie chart graph (check the specific directions on how to do this with your particular piece of software).

Answer 9

You can use either Microsoft Excel or Power Point... but I'm sure there are other programs out there.
I like PPT a little better personally.

Create a new slide
Insert chart
Change chart type to "Pie"
Populate the "data sheet" with your info

Answer 10

Total = £400

£200 will be represented by ½ (semi-circle of the Pie.
£100 by ¼ of the Pie (½ of the other semi-circle)
And, each £50 by ⅛ . (2 x ½ of the ¼ remaining).
