Each amount you need to place on the pie chart has to represent a number of degrees. Since a complete circle has 360 degrees, take all those percentages of 360 to find how many degrees each one is.

For example: 

Chocolate = 45.32%
45.32% of 360 degrees = 0.4532 * 360 degrees = 163 degrees

Cherries = 15.46%
15.46% of 360 degrees = 0.1546 * 360 degrees = 56 degrees

Do the same for milk and eggs to get their numbers of degrees.
