How to describe this image:

Pie charts should be converted in to lists or data tables. These charts are very simple so they can be converted into lists.
Ignore extraneous visual elements such as the pictures of the cat and the dog, the 3D shape of the pie charts and the red lines.

Pie Charts Example 2

Example Pie Chart 2

How to describe this image:

This is a simple pie chart disguised by visual clutter, which is meant to test a student's skill in cutting through extraneous information and determining the purpose of the pie chart. So, if we apply the typical description solution, we will defeat the purpose of the question. Therefore, considering the context, we should include some of the visual clutter in our description to be true to purpose of the question.
