think of those percentages as parts of the entire circle.  the entire circle measures 360 degrees....

so what is apple juice part of the entire circle?

A full circle is 360 degrees.
Take the percentage that corresponds to apple juice, and multiply it by 360. Remember to change the percentage into a decimal.
