The school that dave goes to has 180 pupils in year 9 how many pupils are there in year 7 and 8 if year 7 is 110 degrees and year 8 is 130 degrees on a pie chart.

ok lets think about this.

there is 360 degrees in a circle

yr7   is  110 degrees

yr 8  is   130 degrees

that makes  240 degrees for 7 and 8 combined

360-240=120       so year 9 is 120 degrees out of a total of 360 degrees

let x be the entire school population

(120/360)  of x = 180 students

(1/3)x=180

x=180*3 = 540 students

yr 7 is       110/360 * 540 = 165 students

and you can figure out year 8 on your own.  do it just like i did year 7
