Question

Based on the circle graph how many pounds of milk and eggs does the average American consume each year PLS EXPLAIN FOR BRAINLEST

Answer 1

Answer:

H.  552

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle graph information:

• Milk and eggs = x%
• Fruits and vegetables = 38%
• Cereals = 10%
• Meat and fish = 10%
• Sugar = 8%
• Fats and oils = 4%

Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person

First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).

Total percentages = 100%

⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100

⇒ x + 70 = 100

⇒ x = 30

Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.

To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:

= 30% of 1840

= 30% × 1840

$=\sf \dfrac{30}{100} \times 1840$

= 552

Therefore, the average American consumes 552 pounds of milk and eggs each year.
