Question

The table shows the number of books sold at a book sale this week.

Mon Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri
23. 40. 28. 52. 77


What percent of the total books sold were sold on Friday?

Answer 1

35%

Explanation:

First add the total book sales.

23 + 40 + 28 + 52 + 77 = 220

Now figure out the percent that 77 books represents.

(77/220) * 100% = 0.35 * 100% = 35%
