Q: In a pie chart, if the segment representing 'Others' is 10% and the remaining segments are equally divided among three categories, what is the percentage of each of those categories?
Solution: The remaining percentage is 100% - 10% = 90%. Divided equally among three categories, each gets 90% / 3 = 30%.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Identify the percentage of the 'Others' segment, which is 10%.
Step 2: Calculate the remaining percentage of the pie chart by subtracting the 'Others' percentage from 100%. This is 100% - 10% = 90%.
Step 3: Since the remaining 90% is to be divided equally among three categories, divide 90% by 3. This is 90% / 3 = 30%.
Step 4: Conclude that each of the three categories gets 30%.
