\nThe correct answer is 36\u00b0.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIn a pie chart, the total circle represents 360\u00b0. Each sector’s angle is proportional to the percentage it represents of the total.
\nThe percentage for Saving (E) is 20%.
\nThe percentage for Miscellaneous (D) is 10%.
\nThe difference in percentage between Saving and Miscellaneous expenses is 20% – 10% = 10%.<\/p>\n

To convert this percentage difference to a difference in central angle (degrees):
\nAngle difference = (Percentage difference \/ 100) * 360\u00b0
\nAngle difference = (10 \/ 100) * 360\u00b0
\nAngle difference = 0.10 * 360\u00b0
\nAngle difference = 36\u00b0.
\n<\/section>\n

\nAlternatively, you could calculate the individual angles:
\nAngle for Saving = (20\/100) * 360\u00b0 = 0.20 * 360\u00b0 = 72\u00b0.
\nAngle for Miscellaneous = (10\/100) * 360\u00b0 = 0.10 * 360\u00b0 = 36\u00b0.
\nDifference = 72\u00b0 – 36\u00b0 = 36\u00b0.
