I am plotting two variables (c and e) into a pie chart. The calculated percentage is 73% but the chart shows 42%. The percentages appear correct for lower values. I attach the code, the variables, the percentage calculation and the pie chart. I have cleared the variables before running the code.
Any advice most welcome.
Thank you.

If
z = [20318 28008]
then the first value, 20318 represents 42% of the total value of z.
100*20318/sum(z)
= 42%

Thank you for your response Chad. The total sample is 28008 and of that total sample 20318 are outside the prescribed criterion, so what I was looking for in the pie chart is what percentage 20318 is of 28008 i.e. 73%. It seems that I have misunderstood the pie function. I will need to re-jig the two values in z to give me the correct answer. Again, thanks for the comment.
