Diagram
Sum

Solution

Total number of people = 160 + 90 + 80 + 50 + 30 + 40

= 450

Converting the number of people prefer various food items into components part of 360°

Central angle of a component = `"Value of the component"/"Total value" xx 360^circ`

Item Number of people Central angle
Vegetables 160 `16/450 xx 360^circ` = 128°
Meat 90 `90/450 xx 30^circ` =  72°
Salad 80 `80/450 xx 360^circ` = 64°
Fruits  50 `50/450 xx 360^circ` = 40°
Sprouts 30 `30/450 xx 360^circ` = 24°
Bread 40 `40/450 xx 360` = 32°
Total 450 360°

Food items are preferred by people.
