Question

How many runs did Sachin score in %?

Answer 1

Hint: Given a pie chart which is one of the graphical representations, which refers to visually displaying and analyzing with the use of charts and graphs, which is also used to interpret numerical data. A pie chart which is also called a circle graph, as it is a circular statistical graph, which is divided into pies (called slices) to illustrate the numerical proportion of the data.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Here in the given pie chart it is divided into 4 slices which can also be said that it is divided into 4 categories.
The 4 categories are the runs scored by each person.
Sachin scored 75 runs.
Parthiv scored 45 runs.
Sehwag scored 110 runs.
Ravindra scored 70 runs.
The total runs scored by all of them together are :
$ \Rightarrow 75 + 45 + 110 + 70 = 300$
$\therefore $Total no. of runs scored = 300
The % of runs scored by each person is given by the ratio of runs scored by each person to the total no. of runs multiplied with 100.
Now calculating the % of runs scored by each person:
Percentage of runs scored by Sachin is given by:
$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{75}}{{300}} \times 100 = 25\% $
$\therefore $Sachin scored 25% of the total runs.
Percentage of runs scored by Parthiv is given by:
$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{45}}{{300}} \times 100 = 15\% $
$\therefore $Parthiv scored 15% of the total runs.
Percentage of runs scored by Sehwag is given by:
$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{110}}{{300}} \times 100 = 36.67\% $
$\therefore $Sehwag scored 36.67% of the total runs.
Percentage of runs scored by Ravindra is given by:
$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{70}}{{300}} \times 100 = 23.3\% $
$\therefore $Ravindra scored 23.3% of the total runs.

Sachin scored 25% of the total runs.

Note: The data can be represented in any graphical format but pie charts are the best for displaying data for around 6 categories or lower. It is very easy to understand the distribution of the data through a pie chart as it is clearly visible.
