Answer:
1. Which item gave the store about 1/4 of its profit?
1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
0.25 x 100% = 25%
As seen in the pie chart, the item with about 25 % is pots and pan earning 22% of the profit.
Answer: pots and pans
2. If the profits from eating and cooking utensils were combined, would it be exceeding the profit earned from plates? Explain.
From the graph, eating utensils make up 10% of the profit earned while cooking utensils make up 14%.
10% + 14% = 24%
Comparing the combined profit percentage of eating and cooking utensils to the profit percentage of plates, plates still earn more.
24% < 38%
Answer: No because the eating and cooking utensils, despite earning a combined profit of 24%, is still less than that of the plates' which is 38%.
3. Which two kinds of items gave the store half of its total profit?
Looking at the pie chart, we are to determine which two items will total to 50%. This is fully trial-and-error.
We can see that the plates with 38% and the glasses of 12% total to 50% which is half of the total profit earned in the sale.
Answer: plates and glasses
4. If the total profit earned was P45,000, how much profit was earned from pots and pans?
The formula to get the profit is:
Profit (pots and pans) = Total profit earned x Percentage of profit (pots and pans)
We simply substitute the formula with the given.
Profit = P45,000 x 22%
Profit = P9,900
Answer: P9,900
5. Which three categories gave a combined profit that is the same as that earned from the plates?
Looking at the pie chart, we are to determine which three categories will total to 38%, which is the percentage earned from plates. This is fully trial-and-error.
We can see that the pot and pans with 22%, the glasses with 12% and the others with 4% sum up to make 38% of that of the plates' percentage of profit earned.
Answer: pots and pans, glasses, others
