Answer 2

This is an incomplete question. Refer to the chart given in the attached image.

With respect to this image, what percent of total money is raised from the candy sale?

Let x be the percent of total money raised from the candy sale.

Total money raised from candy sale is:

Money raised by $1 candy = $100 \times \ 1 =\ 100$

Money raised by $5 candy= $25 \times \ 5 =\ 125$

Money raised by $10 candy = $20 \times \ 10 =\ 200$

Money raised by $15 candy = $15\times \ 5 =\ 75$

Total money raised from candy sale = $\ (100+125+200+75)$

= $\ 500$.

According to the question,

Money raised by sale of $15 candy = x % of Total money raised from candy sale

$75 = x \% of 500$

$75 =\frac{x}{100} \times 500$

75 = 5x

$x = \frac{75}{5}$

x =15%
