Question

The graph shows the scores of an exam. About what percent of students scored above 86%?

Answer 1

Attach shows the scores of students in an exam

$\begin{gathered} \text{(students scored above 86\%) = }\frac{\text{ number of students score above 86\%}}{\text{Total scored }}\text{ x }\frac{100}{1} \\ \text{(students scored above 86\%) = }\frac{\text{8+5.9+2.2+2}}{1.4+2.2+4.5+6.2+8.5+16.5+18+16.3+8+8+5.9+2.2+2}X\frac{100}{1} \\ \\ \text{(students scored above 86\%) = }\frac{18.1}{99.7}\text{ X }\frac{100}{1} \\ \text{(students scored above 86\%) = }18.15\text{ \%} \\ \text{(students scored above 86\%) = 18\%} \end{gathered}$

Hence the correct answer = 18% Option A
