    According to given pie chart in question ,
    Corresponding central angle :-
    Food ⇒ 90°
    Education + Clothing ⇒ 27 + 18 = 45°
    Change in angle = 90° - 45° = 45°

    ∴ Required percent =
    Change in angle
    × 100
    Corresponding central angle of ( Education + Clothing )


    Correct Option: E

    According to given pie chart in question ,
    Corresponding central angle :-
    Food ⇒ 90°
    Education + Clothing ⇒ 27 + 18 = 45°
