Question

Suppose one hundred eleven people who shopped in a special t-shirt store were asked the number of t-shirts they own costing more than $19 each.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C 41%

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The number of people who own at most three t-shirts costing more than $19 each is equal to the number of people who own one t-shirt costing more than $19 each, plus the number of people who own two t-shirt costing more than $19 each, plus the number of people who own three t-shirt costing more than $19 each

Observing the graph

The number of people who own one t-shirt costing more than $19 each is 5

The number of people who own two t-shirt costing more than $19 each is 17

The number of people who own tree t-shirt costing more than $19 each is 23

The number of people who own at most three t-shirts costing more than $19 each is

$(5+17+23)=45\ people$

To find out the percentage divided the number of people who own at most three t-shirts costing more than $19 by one hundred eleven people (total people that shopped in a store) and then multiply by 100

$(45/111)100= 40.54\%$

Round to the nearest whole number

$40.54\%=41\%$
