Worked solution

3(a)

1. Check the total percentage shown in the pie chart

For a pie chart, all sectors should total 100%100\%.

41%+9%+39%+21%=110%41\%+9\%+39\%+21\%=110\%.

This is impossible for one pie chart.

Answer

The percentages add up to 110%110\%, not 100%100\%.

3(b)

1. State a valid correction to the percentage error

Since the percentages currently add up to 110%110\%, correct the pie chart by adjusting the percentages so that they add up to 100%100\%.

Answer

Change one or more of the percentages so that the total is 100%100\%.
