To find the percentage that each season represents in a pie chart, we first need to calculate the total number of respondents surveyed. Then, we can find the percentage for each season by using the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of respondents for the season}}{\text{Total number of respondents}} \right) \times 100 \]
Let’s go through the steps.
-
Calculate the total number of respondents:
\[ \text{Total} = 234 + 673 + 843 + 425 \]
\[ \text{Total} = 234 + 673 = 907 \] \[ \text{Total} = 907 + 843 = 1750 \] \[ \text{Total} = 1750 + 425 = 2175 \]
So, the total number of respondents is 2175.

Calculate the percentage for each season:
-
Winter: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{234}{2175} \right) \times 100 \approx 10.7% \]
-
Spring: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{673}{2175} \right) \times 100 \approx 30.9% \]
-
Summer: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{843}{2175} \right) \times 100 \approx 38.8% \]
-
Fall: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{425}{2175} \right) \times 100 \approx 19.5% \]

Rounding to the nearest tenth:
- Winter: 10.7%
- Spring: 30.9%
- Summer: 38.8%
- Fall: 19.5%
In summary, the percentages for each season represented in a pie chart are approximately:
- Winter: 10.7%
- Spring: 30.9%
- Summer: 38.8%
- Fall: 19.5%
