To determine the percentage of votes the veggie sandwich received, let's go through the solution step-by-step:
1. Identify the total number of votes:
- The total number of votes is given as 50.
2. Identify the number of votes for the veggie sandwich:
- The veggie sandwich received 18 votes.
3. Calculate the percentage of votes for the veggie sandwich:
- The formula to calculate the percentage is:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of votes for veggie sandwich}}{\text{Total number of votes}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Apply the numbers to the formula:
- Substituting the numbers into the formula, we get:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{18}{50} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
5. Calculate the result:
- Performing the division and multiplication, the result is:
[tex]\[
\left( \frac{18}{50} \right) \times 100 = 36
\][/tex]
Thus, the percentage of the votes that the veggie sandwich received is 36%. Therefore, the veggie sandwich section in the circle graph will represent 36% of the total votes.
So, the correct answer is 36%.
