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?

One circle is equal to 360 angles.

Why we take 15% of 360 can anyone explain me?

If any cost, expenditure can be found in pie chart only multiple 360 can find cost, expenditure.

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.

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.
