The pie chart image you uploaded shows a survey about people's breakfast choices. According to the chart, 36 people selected pancakes as their favorite breakfast, and this value corresponds to a sector of the chart.

To calculate the total number of people who participated in the survey, we need to understand how many people are represented by the entire pie chart. We can do this by knowing that the proportion of the chart attributed to pancakes represents 36 people.

If you can provide additional data from the chart—such as the total percentages or number of people for other segments (for example, how many people chose eggs, bacon, fruit, or cereal)—I can calculate the total number of people surveyed by adding the counts together.

Would you like to provide any details about the other segments?

Here are five relevant questions to expand on this concept:

1. How many people chose each of the other breakfast options (eggs, bacon, fruit, cereal)?
2. What percentage of the total survey does the "pancakes" segment represent?
3. How can you calculate the total survey population using just one segment's count and percentage?
4. If another breakfast option received twice the number of votes as pancakes, how many people voted for that option?
5. How could you represent the same data using a bar chart instead of a pie chart?

Tip: When interpreting pie charts, each slice represents a fraction of the whole, and the entire circle is equivalent to 100%.
