Maths Pie Chart Question

https://ibb.co/fjJU2e
How would I answer c? Help would be appreciated!

What I know is that:
a) 30 pairs
b) Friday
c) I know that on Friday the amount of size 14 jeans are 10 pairs.

EDIT: sorry I didn't know that part of c was cut out. The question is: Show that the same number of pairs of size 14 jeans were sold on both days.

Thanks in advance! :biggrin:

For Friday, the sector of the pie chart in green for size 14 is 1/6 of the total amount of jeans sold. If 60 pairs of jeans are sold on Friday, 1/6 of 60 is 10 - so 10 pairs of jeans. So you are certainly correct on that part.For Saturday, 120 jeans are sold. It appears that the fraction shaded in for size 14 is 1/12 of the pie chart. 1/12 of 120 is 10. Therefore the same amount of size 14 jeans sold on both days!
