Oh, actually I think I know now: First convert the 18% to a decimal, which is .18 and THEN multiply it by 360°. Is this correct?

You have the method right, but what do degrees have to do with it?

Thanks. I have to learn the degrees for the percent to be able to make a circle graph with a protractor.
