Answer:

C. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The last vertical line in a Box-and-Whisker plot is the upper quartile value, also know as 75% into the data. Since 75% is the same as three quarters and the last vertical line is on 12, C is the answer

The easiest way to solve this is to divide the shape into 2 rectangles.

The first rectangle being the big one on the left with the 12 and 6
and the second one being the little one on the right, next to it with the 5

So 12 x 6 = 72 (dont pay attention to the 7, 5, or 10, because all we need is 1 length and 1 width)

And for the smaller one it is a little bit trickier.

So on the bottom we see that is says 10ft, but we cant use that because what we really need is the measurement between the 5 and 7 on the top of the little rectangle

At the top we see that it says 6ft

We can do 10-6 to find the missing measurement.

Because the length of the whole like is 10, and the length of one of the little lines is 6, so the length of 6 + some number =10

So 10-6 = 4

Which means the number we need is 4

So now we have 5 x 4 = 20

72 + 20 = 92

Answer: 92
