See explanations.

Step-by-step explanation:

While constructing the pie-chart, the item with largest angle can be taken as the one which produces most income.

Given that;

Bagels: 5%

Brownies: 8%

Cupcakes :12%

Donuts:15%

Bread:60%

Let the store income to be x, then

a)

Bread brings the most income where the angle occupied in the circle graph will be;

60% of x = 60%x

b)

Brownies percent= 8%+12%=20%

20% of x

20x %

c)

Selling items other than bread will give a percent of:

100% x - 60%x =40% x

d)

Letting income to be x,removing cupcakes will leave the remaining percent to be 88%

New income will be 88% of x =88%x

Previous income was 100% of x =100%x

Percentage reduction = 100%x-88%x=12%x
