In the real world, there are many situations where we are asked to present the
information we gathered in an organized way.
A pie graph also known as circle graph is used to show how all parts of something are
related to the whole. This graph is often used to present graphically categorical or
qualitative distributions. A circle is divided into sectors-pie-shaped pieces, which are
proportional in size to the corresponding frequencies or percentages.
To construct a pie chart, first convert the distribution into a percentage distribution, find
the number of degrees in each sector by multiplying the percentage by 360° and then
draw a circle.
For example:
Construct a circle graph for the following table, which lists expenses for a business trip.
ITEM AMOUNT
CAR RENTAL Php 2000
LODGING Php 3000

FOOD Php 2500
ENTERTAINMENT Php 1500
