Answer 2

C. 55%.

Explanation:

We have been given a histogram and we are asked to find the percentage of parents that have more than $10 in their possession.

We can see from our given histogram that approximately 62 parents have 10 dollars in their wallet, so the number of parents that will have more than 10 dollars in their wallet will be 136-62=74.

Let us find 74 is what percent of 136.

`\text{The percentage of parents with over $10 in their possession}=(74)/(136)* 100`

`\text{The percentage of parents with over $10 in their possession}=0.544117647* 100`

`\text{The percentage of parents with over $10 in their possession}=54.4117647\%`

Therefore, the percentage of parents with over $10 in their possession is closest to 55% and option C is the correct choice.
