Let's solve the problem of determining the degrees each candidate would have on the pie chart.

Total votes: 800

The degrees for each candidate on the pie chart are calculated as: $\text{Degrees for a candidate} = \left(\frac{\text{Votes for the candidate}}{\text{Total votes}}\right) \times 360$

Step-by-step calculations:

1. Mr. Green (250 votes): $\text{Degrees} = \left(\frac{250}{800}\right) \times 360 = 112.5^\circ$

2. Mrs. Grey (50 votes): $\text{Degrees} = \left(\frac{50}{800}\right) \times 360 = 22.5^\circ$

3. Miss Purple (125 votes): $\text{Degrees} = \left(\frac{125}{800}\right) \times 360 = 56.25^\circ$

Summary of Results:

• Mr. Green: $112.5^\circ$
• Mrs. Grey: $22.5^\circ$
• Miss Purple: $56.25^\circ$
