Question

The following bar chart shows the number of different types of animals at two county fairs. Fair X had a total of 645 animals, and fair Y had a total of 590 animals. Which of the following statements is supported by the bar chart?

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of all animals at fair Y that are goats is greater than the percentage of all animals at fair X that are goats.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the bar chart,  we can see that 100 goats were present at fair X and Y

Let us now calculate the percentage of goats at each fair:

Fair X = 100/645 * 100 = 15.5%

Fair Y =100/590 *100 = 16.9 %

Hence there was a greater percentage of goats at fair Y than at fair X.
