Explanation:

Answer 2

A. 93%.

Explanation:

We have been given a bar graph and we are asked to find the percent apartment residents who pay from $600 to $749 per month.

We can see from our given bar graph that 25 residents pay from $600 to $649, 44 residents pay from $650 to $699 and 25 residents pay from $700 to $749.

`\text{Total number of residents, who pays \$600 to \$749 per month}=25+44+25`

`\text{Total number of residents, who pays \$600 to \$749 per month}=94`

`\text{Total number of residents in apartment}=3+25+44+25+3`

`\text{Total number of residents in apartment}=100`

Let us find our 94 is what percent of 100.

`\text{Percent of residents who pay from \$600 to \$749 per month}=(94)/(100)*100`

`\text{Percent of residents who pay from \$600 to \$749 per month}=94\%`

We can see that option A is very close to our answer, therefore, approximately 93% of apartment residents who pay from $600 to $749 per month.
