Answer:

How many students had 3 or more absences? Add together {45%, 21%, 23%} and subtract that sum from 100%: 11%.

How many students had two or more absences? Add together this 11% and 21%: 32% had two or more absences. Let the total number of students be n. Then 32% of these n students add up to 96 students. Thus, 0.32n = 96, and n= 300.

How many students had one absence? The chart shows that that is 45%, and we know that there are 300 students total.

Thus, the number of students who had one absence was 0.45(300) = 135.Step-by-step explanation:
