Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the central angle for the "Printer paper" section of the pie chart. The total central angle of a circle is 360°, and the percentage allocated to the "Printer paper" section is 15%.
The formula for calculating the central angle is:
Substituting the given percentage:
Thus, the central angle for the "Printer paper" section is 54°.
