To determine the percentage of the circle graph that the veggie sandwich section will represent, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the number of votes for the veggie sandwich:
From the chart, the veggie sandwich received 18 votes.
2. Find the total number of votes:
The total number of votes for all the sandwiches combined is 50.
3. Calculate the percentage of votes that went to the veggie sandwich:
The percentage of votes for the veggie sandwich can be calculated using the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of veggie votes}}{\text{Total number of votes}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
Substituting the numbers from the chart:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{18}{50} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Compute the result:
By performing the calculation:
[tex]\[
\left( \frac{18}{50} \right) \times 100 = 36
\][/tex]
5. Conclusion:
The veggie sandwich section will represent 36% of the circle graph.
Thus, the correct percentage is:
[tex]\[ 36\% \][/tex]
