Question

The pie chart shows the flavours of ice cream sold by a shop in one

Answer 1

Given:

The pie chart shows the flavours of ice cream sold by a shop in one  day.

There were a total of 270 ice creams sold.

To find:

The number of vanilla flavoured ice creams sold.

Solution:

We know that the complete central angle is 360 degrees.

From the given pie chart, it is clear that the central angle of the vanilla flavoured ice creams sold is 60 degrees.

Total ice creams sold = 270

Now, the number of vanilla flavoured ice creams sold is

$n=\dfrac{\text{Central angle of vanilla}}{\text{Complete central angle}}\times \text{Total ice creams sold}$

$n=\dfrac{60^\circ}}{360^\circ}}\times 270$

$n=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 270$

$n=45$

Therefore, the number of vanilla flavoured ice creams sold is 45.
