A scientist measured the composition of a lean adult male human body. He found that the composition was as follows:

60% water, 17% protein, 17% fat, and 6% other.

How could this data be best represented in the scientist's report of his experiment?

Adding up the percentages given in the question above,

60% + 17% + 17% + 6%

will give us a hundred percent. Since all parts are being represented in the breakdown of percentages, the scientist may present the % composition in a pie graph.
