GRAPH . It shows how a

whole is divided into parts. The parts must total 100%. To create a circle graph, (1) Express the number in
each category as a percentage of the total. (2) Convert this percentage to an angle in the circle. Multiply the
percent by 360 to find the number of degrees for each category. (3) Use a protractor to construct a circle
