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°.

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°.

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