1. Problem Description

The pie chart shows the distribution of fruits in a shop. The angles corresponding to Apple, Banana, Pawpaw, and Orange are 8080^\circ, 6060^\circ, 100100^\circ, and 120120^\circ, respectively. If there are 60 apples, we need to find the number of oranges.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the angle corresponding to the number of oranges. From the pie chart, the angle corresponding to oranges is 120120^{\circ}. The total angle in a pie chart is 360360^{\circ}.
We know that there are 60 apples, and the angle corresponding to apples is 8080^\circ.
Let xx be the total number of fruits. Then we can set up a proportion:
Number of applesTotal number of fruits=Angle of applesTotal angle\frac{\text{Number of apples}}{\text{Total number of fruits}} = \frac{\text{Angle of apples}}{\text{Total angle}}
60x=80360\frac{60}{x} = \frac{80}{360}
x=60×36080=60×92=30×9=270x = \frac{60 \times 360}{80} = \frac{60 \times 9}{2} = 30 \times 9 = 270
So, the total number of fruits is
2
7
0.
Now, let nn be the number of oranges. We can set up another proportion:
Number of orangesTotal number of fruits=Angle of orangesTotal angle\frac{\text{Number of oranges}}{\text{Total number of fruits}} = \frac{\text{Angle of oranges}}{\text{Total angle}}
n270=120360\frac{n}{270} = \frac{120}{360}
n=120×270360=120×2703×120=2703=90n = \frac{120 \times 270}{360} = \frac{120 \times 270}{3 \times 120} = \frac{270}{3} = 90
Therefore, the number of oranges is
9
0.

3. Final Answer

D. 90
