Hi there,

To report the features of a pie chart, I'm trying to make use of different vocabulary. For a segment representing 20% of the total value I used 'a fairly significant proportion'.

I was wondering what other adverbs I can use instead of 'fairly'when trying to suggest the proportion is not that significant?

Thanks.

Perhaps 'moderately' or 'somewhat'?

This is a bit of a subjective opinion, as to how significant the percentages are. To me, 'fairly' would be higher than 20%, but then again, it's subjective.

If the context were less formal, another option would be "pretty."
