These pie charts are represented by comparing  the data by using fractions or percentages, with each section  proportional to the fraction or percentage that it represents in the data set . These chart are generally  used in corporate reports, especially to show budget or financial data. These charts  are  so named as "Pie charts" because of its similarity  to a pie that is sliced into pieces.
