Guide to Pie charts: Explanation, Diagrams & Worked Examples

Explanation:

All the angles at the centre of a pie chart add up to 360°. To draw a pie chart, divide 360° by the total frequency to find how many degrees represent 1 item (Multiplier = 360° ÷ Total), then multiply each frequency by that angle. Always check your angles add up to 360°.

To find a frequency from a given pie chart, write the sector angle as a fraction of 360° and multiply by the total number of people: Frequency = Angle360 × Total.

Example 1: Calculate the pie chart angles for 60 students.

Travelf× 6°Angle
Walk2323×6°138°
Bus1919×6°114°
Car1818×6°108°
Walk 138° Bus 114° Car 108°
360° ÷ 60 = 6° per student. Check: 138° + 114° + 108° = 360°.

Example 2: This pie chart represents 180 people. Comedy is 90° and Action is 110°. How many people chose each?

Comedy (90°) Action 110° Other 160° Total = 180 (1 person = 2°)
• Comedy (90°): 14 of 180 = 45 people
• Action (110°): 110360 × 180 = 55 people
