You can also findout the answer in this way-:
15*18/5=54
Note:- If we want to convert percentage into degree then we will multiply by 18/5 and if we want to convert degree into percentage then we will multiply by 5/18.
15*18/5=54
Note:- If we want to convert percentage into degree then we will multiply by 18/5 and if we want to convert degree into percentage then we will multiply by 5/18.

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°.
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°.
Then total=15+10=25%.
For 25% encloses 90 degrees.
For 15% encloses how much degrees?
So, therefore( 90/25)*15=54°.

Percentage to degree ( X * 18/5).
Ex- 15%= ?degree
15 * 18/5= 54degree
Degree to percentage ( X * 5/18)
Ex- 54degree =?%
54 * 5/18= 15%.
Ex- 15%= ?degree
15 * 18/5= 54degree
Degree to percentage ( X * 5/18)
Ex- 54degree =?%
54 * 5/18= 15%.

The total angle in a circle 360 degrees.
Royalty occupies 15% of the total.
Thus the angle made by royalty is (15/100) *360 =54 degrees.
Royalty occupies 15% of the total.
Thus the angle made by royalty is (15/100) *360 =54 degrees.

15% is the royalty as given in the ques.
10% = 36 degree, 1% = 3.6 degree there for 5% = 18 degree
10+5 = 36+18
15% = 54 simple.
10% = 36 degree, 1% = 3.6 degree there for 5% = 18 degree
10+5 = 36+18
15% = 54 simple.

1% of 360°,
1÷ 100*360= 3.6°.
So, 10% means 10÷100* 360.
= 3.6°
1÷ 100*360= 3.6°.
So, 10% means 10÷100* 360.
= 3.6°

Central angle means degree, total angle any circle is 360" degree that we measure using protractor.
