@All
when we change % to degree need to * 18/5.
15 * 18/5 = 54% => Answer.

Susweta Sarkar said: 1 year ago

Central angle of the Sector = 180° + 180° = 360° (Straight line 180°)
Royalty = 15%.

Solve it;
15% of 360°.
15/100 x 360°.
3/2 x 36°.
3 x 18°.
54°.
Correct answer = 54°.

Percent to degree.
360/100=18/5.

Akshatha said: 6 years ago

If royalty=15% , promotion cost=10%.
Then total=15+10=25%.
For 25% encloses 90 degrees.
For 15% encloses how much degrees?

So, therefore( 90/25)*15=54°.

How comes 100 here? Please explain.

Yeshey wangchuk said: 7 years ago

1% of 360°,
1÷ 100*360= 3.6°.

So, 10% means 10÷100* 360.
= 3.6°

How 1% =3.6, It's not given 10% is 36.
So, how it could be?
