65 out of 100 is 65% or 0.65.
Since a circle is 360 degrees, you need 65% of 360 or 0.65 * 360

65 out of a hundred means you have that portion of the graph occupying 65% of the total portion. Since a circle has 360 degrees, you would need 65% of the circle to represent that. .65 * 360 to get your answer.
