90 students were asked about their favourite way to spend a Saturday. The pie chart shows the results.
(a)Calculate how many students chose Reading.
(b)What fraction of the students chose Sport?
Give your answer in its simplest form.
Show answer
(a) \(10\)
(b) \(\frac{1}{3}\)The whole pie is 90 students spread over \(360^\circ\), so each person is worth
\(360 \div 90 = 4^\circ\)
The Reading sector is \(40^\circ\), so the number of students is
\(40 \div 4 = 10\)
30 of the 90 students chose Sport, so the fraction is
\(\frac{ 30 }{ 90 } = \frac{1}{3}\)

The pie chart shows the colours of the counters in a bag.
The angle of the Red sector is \(128^\circ\), the angle of the Blue sector is \(48^\circ\) and the angle of the Green sector is \(96^\circ\).
(a)Find the angle of the Yellow sector.
(b)There are \(45\) counters altogether.
Find the number of counters in the Yellow sector.
Show answer
(a) \(88^\circ\)
(b) \(11\ \text{counters}\)The four sectors make a full turn, so the four angles add up to \(360^\circ\).
\(128 + 48 + 96 = 272\)
\(360 - 272 = 88\)
So the Yellow sector has an angle of \(88^\circ\).
The whole circle is \(45\) counters spread over \(360^\circ\), so each one takes
\(360 \div 45 = 8\) degrees
\(88 \div 8 = 11\) counters
- (a) M1adds the three given angles \(128 + 48 + 96 = 272\)
- (a) A1angle \(88^\circ\)
- (b) M1degrees each \(360 \div 45 = 8\) and divides the Yellow angle by it \(88 \div 8\)

The pie chart shows the drinks ordered at a cafe one morning.
The angle of the Coffee sector is \(144^\circ\).
(a)Work out the fraction of the drinks in the Coffee sector.
Give your answer in its simplest form.
(b)Work out the percentage of the drinks in the Coffee sector.
Show answer
(a) \(\frac{2}{5}\)
(b) \(40\%\)A sector's share of the drinks is its share of the full turn, so put the angle over \(360\).
\(\frac{ 144 }{360} = \frac{2}{5}\)
A percentage is a share out of \(100\), so multiply the fraction by \(100\).
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 100 = 40\)
So \(40\%\) of the drinks are in the Coffee sector.
- (a) M1angle over 360: \(\frac{ 144 }{360}\)

The pie chart shows how the pupils in a school travel to school.
The angle of the Bus sector is \(60^\circ\).
The angle of the Car sector is \(120^\circ\).
144 pupils walk to school.
Work out how many pupils come by car.
Show answer
\(96\ \text{pupils}\)The angles of a pie chart add up to \(360^\circ\), so the Walk sector has an angle of
\(360 - 60 - 120 = 180^\circ\)
The Walk sector is \(180^\circ\), which is \(18\) lots of \(10^\circ\), and it holds 144 pupils.
\(10^\circ\) stands for \(144 \div 18 = 8\) pupils.
The Car sector is \(120^\circ\), which is \(12\) lots of \(10^\circ\).
\(12 \times 8 = 96\)
- M1missing angle from 360 \(360 - 60 - 120 = 180\)

Apple: \(\frac{ 5 }{ 18 } \times 360 = 100^\circ\)
Pear: \(\frac{ 1 }{ 12 } \times 360 = 30^\circ\)
Banana: 14 out of 72 is \(\frac{ 14 }{ 72 } \times 360 = 70^\circ\)
The rest is what is left of the circle.
Orange: \(360 - 100 - 30 - 70 = 360 - 200 = 160^\circ\)

In an online vote for player of the season, there were 600 votes.
Tom received 240 votes.
Hana draws a pie chart to show the results. This is her method to work out the angle for Tom.
- 240 ÷ 600 = 0.4 - 0.4 × 180 = 72 - So the angle for Tom is 72°
Is Hana's method correct? Give a reason for your answer.
Show answer
No. The fraction is multiplied by 180, which is half a turn. The fraction has to be multiplied by 360, a full turn. The angle for Tom should be \(\frac{ 240 }{ 600 } \times 360 = 144^\circ\).The angle of a sector is its share of the votes times \(360^\circ\).
\(\frac{ 240 }{ 600 } \times 360 = 144^\circ\)
Hana's working ends with 72°. The fraction is multiplied by 180, which is half a turn. The fraction has to be multiplied by 360, a full turn.
So the answer is No.
- M1a correct angle \(144^\circ\) found (\(\frac{ 240 }{ 600 } \times 360\)), or the wrong step named
- A1No, with a reason: the correct angle \(144^\circ\) compared with the \(72^\circ\) claimed, or the faulty step named (The fraction is multiplied by 180, which is half a turn. The fraction has to be multiplied by 360, a full turn.)

The two pie charts show the favourite drink for Café Roma and for Café Blue.
There are 30 customers in Café Roma.
There are 60 customers in Café Blue.
The Tea sector is the same size on both pie charts.
(a)Ravi says that more customers chose Tea in Café Roma than in Café Blue.
Is Ravi right? Give a reason for your answer.
(b)Work out the difference between the number of customers who chose Tea in Café Roma and in Café Blue.
Show answer
(a) No — the sectors show the same fraction of each group, and Café Roma has 30 customers against 60 in Café Blue, so fewer of them chose Tea in Café Roma
(b) \(6\)A sector shows a fraction of its own group, not a number. The two sectors being the same size means the same fraction of each group chose Tea.
Café Roma has 30 customers and Café Blue has 60, so the same fraction of Café Roma is fewer customers than in Café Blue.
So the answer is No.
Café Roma: 6 of the 30 chose Tea.
Café Blue: the same fraction of 60 is 12.
The difference is 6.
- (a) M1the sectors are the same fraction of their own group, so the group sizes decide
- (a) A1No, comparing 30 customers in Café Roma with 60 in Café Blue

The sectors for Jay and Kim have been drawn. The marks round the circle are \(10^\circ\) apart.
Twice as many people voted for Lee as voted for Mo.
(a)Complete the pie chart.
(b)Altogether, \(1116\) people voted for one of the four.
Work out how many voted for Jay.
You cannot draw on this page. Draw (a) on paper, then show the answer and check your drawing against the model.
Show answer
(a) A sector of \(60^\circ\) for Lee and one of \(30^\circ\) for Mo, either way round
(b) \(217\)(a)Count the marks: the sector for Jay is \(70^\circ\) and the sector for Kim is \(200^\circ\).
That leaves \(360 - 70 - 200 = 90^\circ\) for Lee and Mo.
Lee is \(2\) times Mo, so the \(90^\circ\) is \(3\) equal shares.
Mo: \(90 \div 3 = 30^\circ\), and Lee: \(2 \times 30 = 60^\circ\)
The sector for Jay is \(70^\circ\) of the \(360^\circ\).
