Answer 10

yup. If you want to get a percent of of something from like a pie chart you divide that value by the total. Then convert that decimal point to percent by moving the decimal point two spots like I told you.

Lets say you wanted to find the percent of everything in the pie chart.

you will have 870/870=1.00

move the decimal two sport and you get 100% Which make sense if you have the whole thing then ofcourse you have 100% of it. In this case we did it for swine and you got the right answer.
