Question 1 Report


The pie chart shows the distribution of 4320 students who graduated from four departments in a university. How many students graduated from the science department?

Answer Details
To find the number of students who graduated from the science department, we need to look at the pie chart and determine the percentage of students that belong to that department. From the pie chart, we can see that the science department occupies 20% of the entire circle. To find the number of students in the science department, we need to calculate 20% of 4320, which can be done by multiplying 4320 by 0.20. 20% of 4320 = 0.20 x 4320 = 864 Therefore, the number of students who graduated from the science department is 864. So, the correct answer is option B: 864.
